Registering API Keys for MapQuest
API keys are obtained from MapQuest. To fully utilize easyMap, a Registration Key, also called an API key is required. Without an API key, easyMap allows you to create maps up to three zoom levels. API ley registration is required for unrestricted zoom levels. However, with an API key, easyMap allows you to create maps up to seven zoom levels. This allows great detail at the tightest zoom levels, yet can cover a large geographic area.
