Alright, so here goes:
Your instructions:
1. step: activate plugin
2. Visit the APIs Console at https://code.google.com/apis/console and log in with your Google Account
3. Click the Services link from the left-hand menu.
4. Activate the Google Maps API v3 service.
5. Click the API Access link from the left-hand menu. Your API key is available from the API Access page, in the imple API Access section. Maps API applications use the Key for browser apps.
Problems:
After logging in I end up here: https://console.developers.google.com/project
And there is no SERVICES LINK. see screenshot: https://screencast.com/t/ZOsYrJv4iGV
Anyway, after I manage to find where to activate APIs I see these and there is no Google Maps API v3 service
