Spoke to the nice lady at Google who quoted me in the realm of $15,000 USD.
So multiply that out and I'm sure it would be more cost effective to pay $20 more each per year and change the mapping engine.
Cheers

Hi,
I’ve got no issues paying for Google Maps licensing if I have to, but that map doesn’t add massive value for us so depending on the $$ Google want would be the way in which it would sway us moving.
I’ll give the lass there a call tomorrow and gauge a price so that an informed development decision can be made. If we’re talking a few bucks, then not worth the change, if we’re talking thousands, then I’m sure it would be worthwhile.
Last time I asked (a few years ago) the pricing started at $10.000 per year. Things seem to be changing though, so it might not be as bad: http://geoawesomeness.com/google-introduces-new-pricing-plans-for-maps-api/.
