On June 3, 2019, a new Asset Tracking plan was launched on
Google Maps Platform. This plan is only available for customers with large
fleets (thousands of assets) and a specific use case. Please
Contact Sales
if you are interested in this plan.
The following APIs are covered under the Google Maps Platform Asset Tracking
plan:
- Geocoding API
- Directions API
- Geolocation API
- Elevation API
- Roads API (including Speed Limits)
- Time Zone API
- Distance Matrix API
- Maps Static API
- Maps JavaScript API
- Street View API
Billing
Billing on this plan is set up as a fixed monthly fee which is attached to your
billing account. This will result in a new SKU appearing in your
developer console usage reports
:
Maps Monthly Fee
. This fee is prorated per day and shown in your usage
graph. It appears when you group both by "projects" or "SKUs" in your usage
report, since the monthly payment fee is attached to your billing account and
not a specific project.
Usage per API is still shown in your usage reports. The covered APIs mentioned
above will have a price of zero, and will be covered by the fixed monthly fee.
The APIs not covered (Places API) will be charged on a pay-as-you-go basis. For
more details check the "Places Services Pricing" section included in your
contract.
Quota limits
The plan you subscribed to defines which quota limits you get. In order to
check what limits are eligible for your project, take a look at the "Maps Asset
Tracking Subscription Plan Tiers" section of your contract. You will find in
the table the corresponding QPS uplift included.
During the initial setup of your project we have provisioned the included QPS
on both the Directions API, and Geocoding API. If you need this QPS uplift to
be added to any other APIs covered by the Google Maps Platform Asset Tracking
plan, please contact
technical support
.
If you need more than the included QPS, please contact your account manager to
arrange moving to a higher subscription plan.
