Hi Mark, Here is the info on GoogleMaps (API) usage in commercial applications - I have got it from Mike: <<< For External Applications (public facing sites or customer facing extranets) * $10,000 for 1 million page views per year * $20,000 for 2 million page views per year * $30,000 for 3 million page views per year * $40,000 for 5 million page views per year * Please call for pricing above 5 external million page views per year For Internal Applications (internal applications, non-customer facing) * $10,000 for 250K page views per year * $20,000 for 500K views per year * $30,000 for 750K page views per year * $40,000 for 1.5 million page views per year * Please call for pricing above 1.5 million internal page views per year FAQ How can I try out the Google Maps API? For development purpose you are authorized to use a Free Google Maps license key as an Enterprise License key for 30 days. This means that you are licensed to use Google Maps behind the firewall, in an internal application, or as part of paid or premium content for 30 days (e.g. the Enterprisefull licensing agreement). The 30 day free trial is still subject to a limit of 15,000 geocodes per day. To sign up for the key, please visit http://code.google.com/apis/maps/signup.html If you have already signed up for a key, please mark the date of this e-mail as the start of your 30 day free trial. >>> AFAIS GoogleMaps is not free - and if used from available on SnowCovered DNN modules one have to pay for both - a DNN module license and Google Maps API usage. Correct?

Subject: Re: [dba-VB] Mapsearch/navigation/business objectspresentation/drawing inASP.NETapplication Hello Shamil and Mike, Shamil, perhaps I am missing something here, but I would have assumed that you are free to use Google Maps for your application. Why can you not? Of did I miss something that you need a wrapper for Google maps? When I searched on SnowCovered I see plenty of Google Map providers, so I guess you must be looking for something else? thanks Mark 2009/9/4 Shamil Salakhetdinov <shamil at smsconsulting.spb.ru> > Hi Mike, > > Don't worry. > No problem at all. > Your remark is accepted here with pleasure. > If you think I like open source that wouldn't be true :) > But I have to accept that "open source software phenomena" as reality, and > to find how to live with it with as little as possible "damage" to my own > and other developers business.
