    ');

This extension also includes php-google-map-api library from https://github.com/streetlogics/php-google-map-api Many years have gone since it was build and for a moment it has many things to refactor, but for now maybe you find useful it's synchronous calls to Google MAP API like this:, _(*5)

use kossmoss\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps;

...

$coords = GoogleMaps::coordsByAddress("Lisboa, Portugal");

If you want to use other features from original extension, you need to use GoogleMapAPI class instead of GoogleMaps class. Here you can find some documentation for GoogleMapsAPI class:, _(*6)
