I appreciate the low upfront cost. This allows you to scale as need. The Render API is great and I like how they are adding additional features such as the weather and data service.

I dislike that sometimes when I’m in a remote location it does not work and lag.

The pricing model is made so that if your map gets any kind of traction on a blog or news website you're bound to be looking at a $500 - 1,000 bill. Maps are charged per view. A view is 4 tiles on the screen. So most likely as soon as a user loads it...
