    Google Maps API chaning pricing plan

    Firstly does anyone use Google Maps API within PHLocation Plug-in? I just received an email from Google Maps Platform that the API pricing plan are changing. The are are continue to offer a free tier - all developers will receive $200 of free monthly usage of their core products starting June 11th. Apparently my PHLocation usage over the last 3 months will be less than $200 a month threshold and will be covered by their $200 monthly free credit. At first because of how they worded the email I had thought they were going to charge $200 which is way too much for my use within PHLocation that it would have been simple to delete my current HS3 project and move on..

    Got the same mail, but I seem to exceed the included $200 so they want my money...

      Interesting. I'm under the $200 so they don't want my money (yet)... but they do want my credit card:

        Since I already have a billing account with Google that I use for my DNS services this isn't a big deal for me, however I've yet to find out what they charge per location lookup and that's something I really would like to know.

        Has anyone found where is states how much is charged per lookup? If it's a penny per lookup that's a problem but if it something like $0.00001 per lookup then I don't see it being a big deal.

          I use the Streetview API key. Google Maps don't need an API key.
          My Traccar (GPS) script is changed because of this, so the API request is only done, when the gps device is moving (based on several conditions). This will reduce the API request a few 1000's per day. The script is running every 20 seconds. so in the old setup 4320 API request were done. Now it's reduced to appr 200 a day (based on motion time).
