Approximate cost in USD for Google Maps API in Traccar 6.3

Gerard Iscala5 months ago

Hi everyone, does anyone have an estimate of how much the Google Maps API would cost per month in Traccar 6.3, for example with 100 devices, how much would it cost in USD per month? I know it depends on the requests to the API.

But I would like to know if you have an estimate?

I think it will very much depend on your usage of the app.

Maybe that can give you some idea, the question is how to know what Anton says.

Map Tiles API, which is called 2D Tiles on that page.

Hi. I understand Traccar 6.4 like 6.3 uses Google map api key too.
In the Google's pricing page at https://mapsplatform.google.com/pricing/ it talks about 0.6 usd /1000 requests on 2D Tiles
In order to estimate the cost per month is there a way to know what and how many requests generates every action on the app?

Let us know if you find out.

I read that one request is needed (from the Google API end) for every activity like:

  • Zoom on a map
  • a movement over the map
  • a user's click on a marker
  • a search for an address

So, it depends on the behaviour of the users, which is very difficult to estimate. I think the only way is to open a test period of said one week with a defined number of users and take statistics from google;s console
