            Description

            Back in CRM-8032 the API key was removed from the request to Google.

            I suspect this was a misreading of "the API key is no longer required" as "the API key is no longer supported" or similar. Without the API key, batch geocoder runs into a query limit quickly.

            Google Geocoding docs (now) say that the API key is required: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro#GeocodingRequests

            It looks like this issue has been raised repeatedly?
