  • Google Maps
  • Bing Maps
  • Yahoo Maps

Is Google Maps API no longer free?

You won't be charged until your usage exceeds $200 in a month. Note that the Maps Embed API, Maps SDK for Android, and Maps SDK for iOS currently have no usage limits and are at no charge (usage of the API or SDKs is not applied against your $200 monthly credit).

Is there anything else besides Google Maps?

Waze app and Google Maps are both free for anyone who wishes to use them. Overall, Waze is a spectacular app that works similarly or way better than Google maps. It provides a complete set of functionalities and features you need in an app. It may not have many features, but it serves you well.

Is there a better map than Google Maps?

MapQuest is another of the great Google Maps alternatives, especially if you use public transportation for commuting. It will let you compare local transportation services for your route, like Uber or car2go, and also book cars right from the app.
