After Google started requiring information to obtain an API I realized I had no practical need for the API as all my events tend to be in the same location.
With the help from Modern Tribe support I created the following plugin. Once activated it will remove the API call to Google Maps. Likewise deactivating or deleting the plugin will restore Event Calendar Pro’s default behavior.
Plugin: Remove Google Maps API for ECP
The plugin nor the code placed in the child theme’s functions.php works. It still displays an error. Wondering how to get the call to Google Maps completely removed.

Hi jd,
Looks like I’m getting a warning in Firefox console and it’s similar to yours.
Google Maps JavaScript API warning: NoApiKeys https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys
My quick guess is Events Calendar Pro or Google changed something that made this dequeue ineffective. I’ll review this code over the next few days and update the post accordingly.
Thanks for noting the error.
