Google Maps used to charge astronomical flat fees starting at $10,000 per year, paid up front, for any non-public or "commercial" use case (basically anything hidden behind a login). If I'm reading this correctly, they're switching to a pay-as-you-go model, which is excellent news for small businesses that might need mapping or routing functionality in their admin dashboards. Edit: It's also worth noting that the $200 monthly credit makes it essentially free for light usage, even in commercial use cases.
