How to know exactly if you need to pay to use google maps api js?

Question

Google Maps

Good afternoon!
We are writing a commercial project on nuxt, on one of the pages we will use a Google map.

Maps are loaded onto the page using the @googlemaps/js-api-loader


package. This map is essentially a background image. All we need a map for is to draw our polygons on it and, when hovering over these polygons, display hints through the infoWindow. The map uses custom zoom buttons (they just have their own design) and a switch for 2 types of map design, custom style (gray) and hybrid . Also, the card has all standard controls disabled.

Initialization goes like this:

new this.googleMaps.Map(this.$refs.map, {
            center: {
              lat: 61.0267952,
              lng: 68.8492321
            },
            disableDefaultUI: true,
            mapTypeId: 'hybrid',
            zoom: 4,
            minZoom: 3,
            maxZoom: 5
          });

Nothing else on the map is used. The question arose between our colleagues, do we need to pay for something?

In the dock for tariffs , it is a little vaguely indicated, we could not come to some kind of understanding.

Please let me know if anyone has experience with this issue?

My opinion:
So far, from the experience of using cards, except for displaying the card itself for programmatic purposes, I have not yet had to deal with payment or the requirement for payment. I studied all the keys that I used during the entire time I used the cards, and I had a lot of them. Almost all the maps I've used have been to just show a point on the map, but using either a custom map style or a custom marker.

Somewhere there was geocoding by address, but it worked without any problems. Apparently, the limits on geocoding have not been exhausted. Once there was a problem, because we exhausted the limits for geocoding a lot of addresses, after which they were replaced from addresses to coordinates and everything became ok.

The dock says that for loading the map. Those. for using the googleMaps.Map class . It seems clear here, but then it turns out that I should have had bills for these downloads for a long time, because. I have had many of them on various projects.

Answer 1

It makes no difference whether you draw lines or your markers, or whatever else you bring in. Only card initialization counts.
Google sponsors 200 bucks a month for everyone, in addition to these costs, it removes from the card.
P.S. It is forbidden to save the result of geocoding addresses to yourself.
