Goood Day

Essentially I am getting hammered with costs for google static maps as I have a reasonably high traffic website and need to place a static map image on many of the web pages. Google want to start charging me 00 a month for this now.

The problem is I could quite easily cache static map tiles in our CDN and eliminate the costs but this is explicitly against googles Ts&Cs.

Are there other services available that provide the same service as google static maps at reasonable costs AND allow caching static maps tiles?

Maybe you could use maps from the OpenStreetMap project? The data is free/libre (licensed under Open Database License).

See the documentation about how to use the maps. There are various frameworks available.

If you don’t find a hosting service that suits your needs, you could even host the data yourself.
