<Update label="v0.1.1" description="31 Jul 2026">
  `bug-fix`

  Pointed the connection guide's Google Cloud console link at the console home page so it matches the navigation the step describes, and added a warning covering the first-time Google Maps Platform account setup that otherwise blocks access to Keys & Credentials and the API Library.
</Update>

<Update label="v0.1.0" description="28 Jul 2026">
  `new-connector`

  Initial Google Maps Platform connector — 41 API-key actions across 17 Google Maps APIs (Geocoding, Places, Places Aggregate, Address Validation, Routes, Roads, Geolocation, Time Zone, Elevation, Maps Static, Street View, Map Tiles, Aerial View, Air Quality, Pollen, Solar, Weather). Multi-host per-step routing, classic-vs-new key injection (query vs X-Goog-Api-Key), datetime\_string typing for RFC3339 params, validationRules for required one-of inputs, get\_place\_photo dual JSON/binary handling, and a connection guide with screenshots for creating/restricting the key and enabling the required APIs.
