If you use your client id without a signature, the request will be rejected and return HTTP 403 Forbidden, as explained here:
Why am I receiving a HTTP 403 Forbidden response to my Maps API web service requests? http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/premier/faq.html#signature_403 To sign your requests, you need the crypto key, which is a *secret* string that you receive with your Maps API Premier welcome letter, along with your client id (gme-xxxx). Please make sure not to ever share, expose or include in a request the crypto key itself. Instead, you need to generate a new digital signature for each request, following the instructions under the URL Authentication section I linked before. There are a couple of code samples there as well.
