Google touts that its new Maps Engine API can be used for virtually any kind of application, with business use cases ranging from healthcare to retail.

Google launched its latest sustainability tool, a series of environmental geospatial APIs that help cities, businesses, and other partners map solar, air quality, and pollen data worldwide.

From March 2025, Google Maps will offer developers free access to its products including APIs and SDKs, with monthly limits of up to $6,800.

The new Google Maps Embed API will make it even easier for Webmasters to place Google Maps into Web pages for use by site visitors, according to Google.
