Google Maps is free to consumers, but that doesn't mean corporations can license the data for free. Google would expect something in return -- user data, Android Auto installations...

HERE [1] is the same way. You can access their maps for free on the web or through the apps:

https://www.here.com

But if you're building a product that needs to incorporate maps, HERE will certainly charge you for it.

[1] I hate this all-caps spelling, but it looks confusing without it.
