After the recent switch to the billed system, Google Maps API offered the option that non-profit organizations etc. may still used the Google Maps API for free:
"Please be aware that Maps API applications developed by non-profit organisations, applications deemed by Google to be in the public interest, and applications based in countries where we do not support Google Checkout transactions or offer Maps API Premier are exempt from these usage limits. We will publish a process by which sites can apply for an exemption on the basis of the above criteria prior to enforcement of the limits commencing." http://googlegeodevelopers.blogspot.de/2011/11/understanding-how-maps-api-usage-limits.html However I have not seen anything of this process yet. Where can I find the information for my website to be checked it is for public interest? Thanks!
