Yea this whole API thing was/is new to me. I went to use my map making program TYRE and it says I have to have a google account, buy an API or give them a credit card for a "free" account. You get 200 hours of free use or something but they want a CC. How about you give me the time, and if I use it up, you shut me off until I pay. I really hate to give another internet access point my CC number.
