Street View panoramas and map loads are now charged separately. A dynamic Street View panorama is charged for each instantiation of a panorama object in a Maps SDK for Android application.

MONTHLY VOLUME RANGE(Price per PANORAMA) -- 0–100,000 | 100,001–500,000 | 500,000+ 0.014 USD per each(14.00 USD per 1000) | 0.0112 USD per each(11.20 USD per 1000) | Contact Sales for volume pricing

An instantiation of a panorama object occurs on Android with the StreetViewPanorama object.

the above is stated in google website: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/usage-and-billing how does aTalk deal with this in street view panorama feature (it is not free)

cmeng-git commented 3 years ago

I have not received any notification from google regarding the change. aTalk will disable the feature if the developer needs to pay for the use of the map.

Another option to use the SupportMapFragment object (Google says: "SKU: Mobile Native Dynamic Maps is free" ) in the google Maps SDK to show the location (Lat , Lng) in the map inside aTalk app or call and open the mobile's Maps program externally with the location parameters (Lat , Lng)

close until further action required from aTalk
