Googlemaps API Key for Localhost

Question

How do I get Google Maps API key to work on localhost?

I've created an API key and under referrers I add the following:

Accept requests from these HTTP referrers (websites) (Optional)  Use asterisks for wildcards. If you leave this blank, requests will be  accepted from any referrer. Be sure to add referrers before using this key  in production.   localhost 

This doesn't work and if I exclude the API key it doesn't work, either.
