Question about charges for Google Maps
My website has a Google Map for desktop users, and one for mobile users. These are, respectively, at www.mauitradewinds.com/location.htm and www.mauitradewinds.com/m_location.htm I got a notice from Google that I needed to upgrade my Google Cloud Platform account to a paid account, after one year of free service. I don't understand their pricing, and would like to know if my maps are in the "free" category, or if I will be charged when visitors load them in a browser.

Thank you. However, my question is whether the maps on my website are among the free versions? It appears that the link in your comment is directed at this page.

Thank you David!
You're welcome!
Likely you'll end up never paying, for low volume traffic.
If you have high volume traffic, you'll likely be making so much a few cents/map will barely be noticed.
Good luck!

2) Google provides $200/month in credits, so low traffic sites pay $0/month.
3) https://cloud.google.com/m
Summary: So long as you serve your maps using one of the free versions, you pay $0/month. If you use any of the premium/paid options, then each map served produces a charge. Each month your charges exceed $200/month, you'll be billed the balance.
