So. Google is changing the Maps API and there's now a difference between Embed Maps and Embed Advanced Maps.
Could anyone tell me the difference between an embed map and an advanced embed map?
The potential charges are huge if I'm mistaken here.
For those of you who don't know, Google is some of its APIs including maps, geocoding, and places:
Thanks.
I found this a little vague, too. The answer seems to have been found here:

"Essentially, Embed with Dynamic Maps or a map with a marker, will continue to be free with unlimited usage. Embed API requests using Directions mode, View mode, or Search mode will now be billed. See the pricing table for details."
That had me worried. As a lazy web designer, I'd been using my own credentials to add maps to client sites. Looks like I'm still in the free tier.
