Changes to your Google Maps APIs account

Hello,
this day i received a message from google :"Changes to your Google Maps APIs account"... Me and my eglish is quite bad so i did't understand
i bought google map plugin a long time ago, does this message change anything (usable or anything else) ?
Thank's a lot
Regards

Hallo

I too got this mail from google.
It says i have to register my existing API-key-account to a 'billing-account' with monthly free costs of $200.
Otherwise my key won´t work after 11th of June.

This is a major change and i am not sure, if the traffic (map calls of my customer projects) will exceed this $200 or not.
So i am wondering, nobody else - only 'clio' reported this here...
This should effect all googlemap plugin users!

Do we have to swap (again for me) to bingmap to avoid monthly costs?
Regards

Hi,

good question, not sure how Google will count/measure the usage...
Bing-Maps itself is also not fully free...
And there are also data privacy considerations with these both map providers...

There will be therefore additional a new Leaflet-based maps-plugin in one of the next releases, it will allow directly using the tiles from OpenStreetMaps and other map sources.

Best regards,
Klaus

I am sure that most of us are waiting for such a solution.

thank you for your replies,
Klaus, you told about new maps, do you know if there will be the "geoportail" ones ?
Best regards

Extremely interested in this! Should be a great improvement.
