So far, we have been using Google Maps to determine distance along a certain route for a MacOS app to register kilometers for a business administration app. But, this is no longer possible, as the login for google maps no longer works. I understand we would have to pay to continue using the Google Maps service as it was and we would have to make changes to the app. That would be ok, but I was just wondering does any developer on this forum have suggestions on how to resolve this issue? Or even maybe have suggestions, to make this work better than before. Three suggestions by chatgpt: use ANWB route planner using google maps, Pro6pp, or to useWisp.Software (something I haven't heard of before. Your suggestions and ideas are welcome. Also, if the Apple Developer team knows of a way how to do this in your app, your advice is more than welcome. Have a nice day!

You should check with the support resources provided by the 3rd party to get assistance with their software.

Unless another developer in the forums has experience with the third-party and can provide assistance.

However I would recommend to contact Google Maps support channel.

There are various other routing services, including:

MapBox has a Directions API: https://docs.mapbox.com/api/navigation/directions/

AWS has one here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/latest/developerguide/routes.html

Also consider OpenRouteService: https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs

The cheapest option for a large volume of queries will be to implement your own instance of OpenRoutService, or similar. But that's a lot of work.
