I agree that Google charging people for usage is ridiculous. However, Google Maps is still one of the most used mapping systems, especially on mobile devices. And in reality, Google gives you a lot of credit each month for free usage. For instance, you can display a map on your website more than 22,000 times in a single month before you’re charged. Still, using something like OSMapper might be ideal in certain situations or if you’re managing a small business. Thank you for the suggestion.
