    Hello,

    I saw that since Feb 28, 2025, there is no longer free quotas limitation for Google Maps API when requested in TSW PC Editor.

    Have you found a way to limit these costs?

    thanks

    Ok thanks, I probably got an issue with my account as I can see 44000 request for 8 days which is to much a guess.

    As I may know, one tile loaded should be equivalent to one request isn’t it?

    One Call is equivalent to one Request in the Google Maps Tab in the Editor where do you activate the Overlay or type the Key in

    Ok thanks.

    So very strange that a have had this number of request...

    By the way, I have added a quota in my google account where 100 requests / day should be enougth for TSW and avoid any bug if any.

    There is also the possibility to cache the "tiles" that have already been loaded... you can set that somewhere in the project settings... unfortunately don't know how and where exactly.

    That quota thing is something I can copy ;)

    Yesterday I had tried a new small zone to test by loading google ! Again I got 430 requests in the editor in one time. This is too much and I suspect an issue somewhere. But now, thanks to the quotas the limitation works as it stops to load more

    I have to test with an other map maybe.
