 * I am currently using a different mapping plugin. All of a sudden, Google is charging
   me hundreds of dollars in API usage fees. The plugin I’m using is using the Dynamic(
   JavaScript) API. Apparently there would be no charge from Google if I was using
   the Static Maps API. Is that possible with this plugin?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstatic-or-dynamic-api%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi there
 * Thank you for getting in touch.
 * Unfortunately, our plugin doesn’t support the Static API. In addition, Google
   will bill you for Static API requests too:

 * I’m very sorry about that.
 * Is there anything else we can help you with?
 * Kind regards
    – Perry
