This topic lists all Google Maps Platform products and features that are currently, or scheduled to be, in the Legacy stage.
How Legacy status works
Legacy is an intermediate lifecycle step to ease the transition between Generally Available services and Deprecated services.
- Legacy-marked services will not be available in new Cloud projects.
- Legacy-marked services will be officially feature frozen, and new feature requests will only be considered for updated non-Legacy services.
- Legacy-marked services will retain full support.
Existing projects already using Legacy services can continue to do so.
While we envision that Legacy services will be turned down in the coming years, there is no date yet for when this will happen.
Subject to the Google Maps Platform Terms of Service (section 9) Deprecation Policy, we will provide at least a 12-month notice prior to the decommission of the services.
