Hello,

Please, get a look, there is a problem on the directory’s maps.
https://specialthailande.com/annuaire-francophone-en-thailande/

For information, I didn’t change anything and the maps worked some days ago.

Kind regard, Maxime

Hi Maxime,

Thanks for your reply. It looks like you are probably using the old Google API key. With the latest changes from Google, you are now required to setup a billing before you can use your Google map API key. Have you done that?

Thanks!

Hello,

I see the price, (1000 requests = 5$)
I have near 3k 4k views each month, so 240$/years

Really ?

You don’t have other solution, why not inform your customers ?

Hello,

we have a blog post about the subject: https://wpgeodirectory.com/google-maps-platform-changes-directory-developers/

To use Google Maps Platform a billing account is required.

To stay with free you can switch your map settings to Open Street Map at:

GeoDirectory – Design – Maps

Thanks

@Maxime,

your estimation is not correct. You will have a free credit of $200 which gives you 40.000 free calls to the api (in this case). You can check with your old API key (project in google dev console) what you have now and in the past to estimate your upcoming monthly costs.
