Google Maps SDK for Android - Cost

Viewed 2976

My question is about the charge in the Google Maps API, I have the following code:

public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mMap = googleMap;

    // Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
    LatLng sydney = new LatLng(latitud, longitud);
    Point point = mMap.getProjection().toScreenLocation(sydney);

    mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(sydney,16));
}

That returns a map with a marker and with a latitude and longitude that I'm assigning. My question is: Does it cost to do this?

Google Maps SDK for Android at present time doesn't have any cost. If you check the price table of Google Maps Platform you will see that SKU Native Dynamic Maps (Android and iOS SDK) has unlimited quota with $0 price:

However, Google requires a billing account with credit card information enabled in your project even when you use products with $0 cost.

I hope this clarifies your doubt.
