Deprecations

This page lists all Google Maps Platform products and features which are currently in a deprecation period. This includes products under Maps, Routes, and Places.

How deprecation works

The deprecation period for a product or feature begins on the announcement date for the deprecation. The product or feature will continue to be available throughout the deprecation period (typically 12 months). Once the deprecation period has elapsed, the product or feature will be turned off, and will no longer be available.
