Google started charging for the map api use of their service, there are ads in search and the ui is horrendous.
The one guy running altgrocery got charged hundreds of dollars because people flooded their website’s map in search of local independent grocers.
That’s why I’m on Organic maps instead now. It’s got 1% of the user base and 10.5% contributors as Google maps has. The UI is clean and the map is easy to contribute to.
