ZeeMaps to Charge for Some “Power” Functions
ZeeMaps, a simple tool to “map your lists,” has been free to date. Yesterday the site sent out an e-mail (also posted on its blog) noting that to keep the service up, several once free functions would now require a paid subscription:
* Bulk Edits (Annotations, Markers, Regions)
* Delete ALL Markers, Delete Some Markers
Non-subscription users can do these things, just one at a time. Pricing varies based on time commitment: three ($9.95/month), six ($7.95/month), or twelve ($6.95/month) months at a time. Subscribers can also remove Google ads from their maps. ZeeMaps is one of the first of the free Google Maps apps to move to a “freemium” model. I suspect we’ll see others make the move, too.
