Googlemaps is configured and api key entered. When trying to generate a map phpgedview gives error: This web site needs a different Google Maps API key. A new key can be generated at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/. Tried a new key with same result.

Are you certain the API key you obtained is correct for you site address? See this note (and more) from the Google API Key FAQs:

Note that a key for http://www.mygooglemapssite.com/ will only be accepted when the site is accessed using this address. It will not be accepted if the site is accessed by IP address (eg. http://10.1.2.3/) or by a hostname that is aliased to www.mygooglemapssite.com using a DNS CNAME record.

If thats all OK, check the permissions on your phpgeview/modules/googlemap directory. It needs write permissions at least while you configure GM.
