I am looking at the Google Web Services pricing on:
https://developers.google.com/maps/pricing-and-plans/
If I look at:
Google Maps Directions API
Google Maps Geocoding API
They say on the web page Free up to 2,500 requests per day.
This would be free if I use both or is it for an aggregate total of all these one listed.
Google Maps Directions API = 2000
Google Maps Geocoding API = 500
So if I did another query on either then I would be charged. Or can I go to 2500 on each of the items before I am charged?
Google Maps Directions API
Google Maps Distance Matrix API 4
Google Maps Elevation API
Google Maps Geocoding API
Google Maps Geolocation API
Google Maps Roads API
Google Maps Time Zone API
Thanks,
Ward.
Each web service has its own usage quota. You can execute up to 2.5K daily requests free of charge for each one.
For further details please refer to the documentation:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/usage-limits
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/usage-limits
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/distance-matrix/usage-limits
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/elevation/usage-limits
Also, note that distance matrix usage is measured in number of elements and not in number of requests. The number of elements is a number of origins times a number of destinations in your request. So, sending for example 5 origins and 5 destinations (25 elements) in each distance matrix request you will be able to execute only 100 daily requests free of charge.

I want to use google maps api for an assignment in my studies.
when entering the official google maps on chrome it seems like there's a destinations number limitation to 10 - so you can't create a route of more then 10 destinations.
Will that same limitation also be if i'll use the google maps API in my own project that I'm creating and not through the official website?
Use a key.
Without a key, the limit is 8 waypoints. With a (free) key, the limit is 23 waypoints (plus origin and destination).
From the documentation (note that keys are now required, some sites are grandfathered with keyless access):
Limits and Restrictions for Waypoints
The following usage limits and restrictions apply:
The maximum number of waypoints allowed when using the Directions service in the Google Maps JavaScript API is 23, plus the origin and destination. The limits are the same for the Google Maps Directions API web service.
For the Google Maps Directions API web service, customers are allowed 23 waypoints, plus the origin, and destination.
Google Maps APIs Premium Plan customers are allowed 23 waypoints, plus the origin, and destination.
Is the link below a valid web api for google maps
http://cbk0.google.com/
I use that link to get a xml values for certain location(lat and long) to check if there is a web view available.
For example:
http://cbk0.google.com/cbk?output=xml&ll=22.33419,114.145635
If that link is valid. It is free to use it? what I mean here is if it has limit on how many times is allowed to access to that web service. I saw this page https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/usage#usage_limits stating that only 1000 is limit for 24 hours. Is it applicable for that link?
Usage limits apply to the following Maps APIs as already answered in Which Google Maps APIs have usage limits?:
Google Maps JavaScript API
Google Static Maps API
Google Street View Image API
Google Maps Directions API
Google Maps Distance Matrix API
Google Maps Elevation API
Google Maps Geocoding API
Google Maps Geolocation API
Google Maps Roads API
Google Maps Time Zone API
In the google maps API usage limits, it is mentioned 2,500 requests per day.
please define request with respect to Street view Google Maps API.
I think you misread it. The limit is "Free until exceeding 25,000 map loads per day for 90 consecutive days"

Is there a way to navigate with the Google Maps API?
I know I can use Intent to open the Google Maps app itself, but I'm looking for this solution specifically.
You can add direction/navigation to your Google Maps app by adding Google Directions API. This API calculates directions between locations using an HTTP request.
The quota is following:
2500 directions requests per 24 hour period.
Up to 8 waypoints allowed in each request. Waypoints are not available for transit directions.
2 requests per second.
ANything more will cost money.
I can't find a clear answer for this one. I've read that there is no limit for Google Charts. However, I have read that there is a limit on using geocharts because of the usage of geocoding which falls under the Google Maps API. That said, under Google Geocharts Data policy, there is this:
Locations are geocoded by Google Maps. Any data that does not require
geocoding is not sent to any server. Please see the Google Maps Terms
of Service for more information on their data policy.
Is there any way that I can be sure that I am not using geocoding when I set the locations.
My locations are sent to the Geochart API as latitude-longitude, ISO-3166-1 alpha-2, or ISO-3166-2.
I just want to be sure that I am not using geocoding because I could have 25,000+ calls a day and do not want to have an issue with the Google Maps API Limits.
