Google/other maps

It looks like Friedemann Schmidt has run into the issues with Google Maps API that Mario faced (and has resolved far as my use is concerned, solved): http://www.geosetter.de/mantis/view.php?id=1970

I did forsee that and hence require users to get their own key and to pay for their own usage. The only alternative would be a subscription model or credit model, as we discussed in the other thread.

I understand John meant that you solved this (for IMatch).

Ah, right. Need ... more ... coffee 

As you can see, Google Maps can become really expensive really quickly if one has to pay for all. Which is why I cannot.
If users get their own API key they usually stay well within the free quota. Or even if they use Google Maps very often they pay a few dollars per month.
