If Loqate doesn’t find results, and Google is also enabled, it may fall back to Google.
Troubleshooting: “Unknown Key” Error
If you see “Unknown key” while typing an address, it means:
-
The API key you entered is wrong.
-
Or, your Loqate account is not set up correctly.
What to do:
-
Double-check the key you entered in EasyTaxiOffice.
-
Make sure there are no typos or missing parts.
-
Log in to your Loqate account and check that your account is active.
-
If you just signed up, confirm your email and accept any terms required.
⚠️ When this error appears, Google address suggestions will also stop working.
FAQ
Q: Can I use Loqate and Google Autocomplete together?
A: Not exactly. If Loqate is active, it takes over the suggestions. If it doesn’t find anything, and Google is enabled, then Google may show results.
Q: I typed an address, but nothing shows up.
A:
-
Make sure the Loqate service is activated and saved.
-
Check if your Loqate account has enough credits.
-
Try a simple address or postcode (like “SW1A 1AA”).
-
Check your internet connection.
