Thanks I might try mapbox because of your story about the CEO. I am not sure about Google dropping their maps. I think that will never happen. There is just too much data in their maps and Google is a data company. They are trying to include physical data in the web, which includes images, maps, buildings, infrastructure etc. Another question, what is unsustainable about google's pricing model? I've only been trying out their free trial and they allow you to have more queries than mapbox. It seems that google will be cheaper than mapbox for a very long time.
