* Azure Maps charges for the usage of interactive maps, which is based on the number of loaded map tiles. On the other hand, Google Maps charges for loading the map control. In the interactive Azure Maps SDKs, map tiles are automatically cached to reduce the development cost. One Azure Maps transaction is generated for every 15 map tiles that are loaded. The interactive Azure Maps SDKs uses 512-pixel tiles, and on average, it generates one or less transactions per page view.

* Often, it's more cost effective to replace static map images from Google Maps web services with the Azure Maps Web SDK. The Azure Maps Web SDK uses map tiles. Unless the user pans and zooms the map, the service often generates only a fraction of a transaction per map load. The Azure Maps web SDK has options for disabling panning and zooming, if desired. Additionally, the Azure Maps web SDK provides a lot more visualization options than the static map web service.
