Google Maps To Charge For API Usage

Posted by timothy on Tuesday November 1, 2011 @02:27AM from the 25k-oughtta-be-enough-for-the-likes-of-you dept.

RdeCourtney writes "The BBC is reporting that from 1 January 2012, Google will charge for the Google Maps API service when more than the limit of 25,000 map "hits" are made in a day. Google is rumoured to be charging $4 per 1,000 views in excess of the limit. Google maintains the high limit of 25,000 free hits before charging 'will only affect 0.35% of users.'"
