"You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page"

I’m getting this error in the console when using this component: You have included the Google Maps JavaScript API multiple times on this page. This may cause unexpected errors. And sometimes (not all the time - sometimes it works fine but still throws the above warning) when I type in a place name in the rendered component, the dropdown is stuck at “Loading…”.

I did have another Google Maps related fetch that I thought was causing the warning but I’ve removed that to see if it might solve the issue but no dice.

Here’s my import

import GooglePlacesAutocomplete from 'react-google-places-autocomplete';

And here’s a stripped down version of how I’m calling the component

const NewHorse = props => {
  const [location, setLocation] = useState({});
  const [places, setPlaces] = useState([]);

  const setLocationState = data => {
    setLocation({
      id: data.id,
      description: data.description
    });
  }

  const GetLocation = () => {
    if (places.length > 0) {
      // return a select element with places
      console.log(places);
      // return <Select className="horse-form-select horse-form-input places" options={places} defaultValue={places[0]} onChange={onPlacesChange} />
    } else {
      return <GooglePlacesAutocomplete onSelect={setLocationState} apiKey={props.firebaseAPIKey} placeholder="Enter a city or zip code" autocompletionRequest={{types: ["(regions)"]}} />
    }
  }

  return (
    <Form className="horse-form">
      <div className="horse-form-container">
        {/* Location */}
        <Label className="horse-form-label" for="location">Location</Label>
        <div className="location">
          {/* <MdLocationSearching fill="white" className="location-icon" onClick={getLocation} /> */}
          <GetLocation />
        </div>
      </div>
    </Form>
  )
}

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cool! Also, thanks very much for the great library. It’s super handy and has already saved me a lot of headaches.
