DirectionsService, DistanceMatrixService, Heatmap Layer, and Drawing Library were removed from the Maps JavaScript API. If your app uses any of these — it's broken. We fix it.
70|DirectionsService and DistanceMatrixService return errors. Delivery apps, real estate sites, logistics platforms — all broken.
Google is forcing a full architectural shift — browser-side JS to server-side REST (Routes API). This isn't a find-and-replace.
Every user who tries to get directions, calculate distances, or use heatmaps sees a broken experience.
Google's replacement costs 3-5x more. We can migrate you to MapAtlas — same features, fraction of the price.
We find every broken endpoint, migrate to Routes API (or cheaper alternative), and deploy.
81| 82|We begin within 24 hours of booking. If we can't identify all affected endpoints, the audit is free.
DirectionsService, DistanceMatrixService, Heatmap Layer (visualization library), and Drawing Library — all from the Maps JavaScript API. Your browser-side code calling new google.maps.DirectionsService() fails now.
Google wants you to use the Routes API (server-side REST). We can also migrate you to MapAtlas — identical functionality, 3-5x cheaper than Google's Routes API.
Single-component fixes in 24 hours. Full migration in 3-7 working days. We start within 24 hours of booking.
Every hour of downtime costs you users and revenue. Let's fix it.

No fluff. No demo request form. Just a quick look at what this does.
⚠️ This is NOT for you if:
you want get-rich-quick schemes, expect overnight results, are looking for "hype" AI tools, or can't be bothered to follow a 5-minute setup.

Real products, real revenue, real problems solved. No hype — just boring reliability.
Setup time: 20 minutes to audit what broke and submit for emergency fix.
