Google Maps API Gets Massive Price Cut In The Wake Of Developer Defections

Google_maps_logoEver since Google introduced limits to how often developers could ping its popular Maps API for free and started charging developers for usage above these limits, we've seen a slew of prominent developers like?Foursquare?switch over to other platforms, including the open-source project OpenStreetMap. Now, it looks like Google has noticed that it couldn't keep charging up to $4 for 1,000 map loads above its free allowance. Instead, the company just announced that it is massively lowering its pricing to just $0.50 per 1,000 map loads.
