On June 3, 2019, a new Asset Tracking plan was launched on Google Maps Platform. This plan is only available for customers with large fleets (thousands of assets) and a specific use case. Contact Sales if you are interested in this plan.
The following APIs are covered under the Google Maps Platform Asset Tracking plan:
Geocoding API
Geolocation API
Elevation API
Roads API (including Speed Limits)
Directions API (Legacy)
Distance Matrix API (Legacy)
Time Zone API
Maps Static API
Maps JavaScript API
Street View API
Billing
Billing on this plan is set up as a fixed monthly fee which is attached to your billing account. This will result in a new SKU appearing in your developer console usage reports : Maps Monthly Fee. This fee is prorated per day and shown in your usage graph. It appears when you group both by "projects" or "SKUs" in your usage report, since the monthly payment fee is attached to your billing account and not a specific project.
Usage per API is still shown in your usage reports. The covered APIs mentioned above will have a price of zero, and will be covered by the fixed monthly fee. The APIs not covered (Places API) will be charged on a pay-as-you-go basis. For more details check the "Places Services Pricing" section included in your contract.
Quota limits
The plan you subscribed to defines which quota limits you get. To check what limits are eligible for your project, look at the "Maps Asset Tracking Subscription Plan Tiers" section of your contract and the table showing the quota limit included in your plan.
During the initial setup of your project, Google provisioned the included quota on the Geocoding API. If you need this quota uplift to be added to any other APIs covered by the Google Maps Platform Asset Tracking plan, contact technical support.
If you need more than the included quota, contact your account manager to arrange moving to a higher subscription plan.
For any urgent temporary quota uplift requests contact technical support.
