The StandardMapTileFactory ignores property settings for rootDir if it's already been set. setProperties() is always called after constructors.
I wish I had written a comment for why I made it that way, it's unusual. I think it has something to do with how the factory kind of reconfigures the rootDir if tiles are being read from a jar file.

You need to be aware that even with the key, there are usage limits for downloading images, and a whole usage charge pricing structure in place.
