Couldn't you just make the map publicly available for both users and non-users? Your fee/subscription-base isn't for the map itself. The map simply serves as a manner to visualize data.
I have a feeling that the many, many real estate companies whom use Google maps aren't all paying for the API, despite it being a commercial venture.
- DannoHung 17y agoYeah, but they offer the mapping aspect for free (far as I know). If the mapping is behind a paywall, I think that's where the pricing starts.
- redorb 17y agohow about free but obscure ... META-robots="noindex" , then have the crazy url that might even change - but updated for your clients when they log in ... also have the url always on call - incase you need to supply it. the real solution is if your map is generating 10k +$1 a year in income pay the man :)
- ianbishop 17y agoThat's why I was saying you should make it available to both users AND non-users. That way if Google inquires (which I truly doubt they ever would), there is no way they can say the map is restricted to subscription/fee.
