Google Maps huh? Millions of views a day. I wonder how much that is going to cost Facebook. Way more than rolling out their own service, I'm sure. People expect Gmaps though.
- glasshead969 14y agoI think Google maps API on iOS is free to use. Apple foots the bill for usage.
- hv23 14y agoIt's not free, it's just effectively free as long as you don't run up against Google Map's daily usage thresholds [1].

- untog 14y agoI doubt it'll cost them anything. Once iOS6 is released the iPhone won't be using GMaps, and I doubt Google will start charging for maps in apps if Apple doesn't. Good grief does Google need to update their mapping APIs, though.
- danudey 14y agoIt's just using the iOS maps. On iOS 5 and below, it's Google Maps; on iOS 6, it's Apple Maps.
