Latest update (11-08 19:00): Google AI Studio adds Google Maps Platform for building map-powered apps

Overview: Google says developers can now build apps powered by Google Maps Platform in Google AI Studio by describing the app in a prompt. AI Studio sets up the Maps API and key without redirects or a credit card.

Sandbox use is capped at 100 calls per day per API, and the quota resets every 24 hours. Production use and higher capacity require linking a paid Google Cloud billing account, which Google says connects to standard Google Maps Platform pricing that includes recurring monthly free usage.
