    I notice Apple Maps has released MapKit that allows to integrate their maps in websites. It seems to be a lot cheaper than Googles offering. Would you consider integrating it?

    Please see https://wpgeodirectory.com/is-google-declaring-war-on-web-directories/

    we haven’t explored their APIs yet, but it could definitely be an option if they offer all features we need.
    However developers must sign up for a Apple Developer account that cost $99/year just to obtain a key, in order to use the MapKit JS beta.
    After that they will provide 250,000 map initializations per key per day for free, as well as 25,000 service requests which covers geocoding and searches.
    That is similar to what GMaps used to offer.
    Thanks

    It would be a nice feature of GD to have apple maps as an option. I wouldn’t mind paying the $99 per year for my site once completed.

    If its easy enough to work with we will probably look at it once it comes out of beta.

    ok, thanks for at least considering it. I assume many developers already have an account for their apps, so that upfront cost wouldn’t be an issue.
