I’ve developed an iPhone application that sends off emails which contain google maps, embedded using the Google Static Maps API. The app will be for sale on the iTunes store (ie not free).

Do I need to get a Google Maps Business account? If so, how do I even apply for an account?

A point in the right direction would be appreciated. I contacted google but got the default reply that created more questions that it answered. eg it said:

“Note:
a) The sale of a product with Google Maps integration requires a special approval and associated licence upgrade.”

but it didn’t say how to do any of this.

Any tips would be appreciated

    As per Google:

    Usage Limits

    The Google Places API has the following query limits:

    1. Users with an API key are allowed 1 000 requests per 24 hour period.

    2. Users who have verified their identity through the APIs console are allowed 100 000 requests per 24 hour period. A credit card is required for verification, by enabling billing in the console. We ask for your credit card purely to validate your identity. Your card will not be charged for use of the Places API.

    So all you need is to give your Credit Card information and pay nothing.
