    I am trying to find out if anyone has any tips for reducing the cost of Google Maps … We just finished our grace period and I was wondering if …

    If we load the map for each listing behind a tab, will that count as a view if the visitor doesn’t click the tab?

    Can we disable some of the Google map api services through Google to lower costs?

    We have an article about the pricing: https://wpgeodirectory.com/google-maps-platform-changes-directory-developers/

    One thing you can do is use the new option for static maps on GD Maps for the GD Details template.

    For specifics about billing it is best to contact Google, they have the technical definitions of the units for which they bill.

    Also of note, in 20065 we introduced a new, second Geocoding field. That means you can use OSM for map presentation (no charge) but then use Google for geocoding only.
