Google Maps API v3 via HTTPS?

Is there a version of https maps google api v3? I have a site that uses https and I get annoying mixed safe and unprotected content errors in IE. I read that in v2 you had to pay to get this, but did not see anything for v3.

Maps API v3 API, Static Maps APIs and Maps API web services are now available to all developers via https:

This is one of my big problems with Google Maps . If you want to access javascript Google Maps via https, you need to register as Google Maps Premier .

There is a Google Maps API issue on the topic with a lot of rebellious comments, but the final word from Google is that they will not support this functionality in the free API.

This particular problem is close to my heart as I spent the last few days migrating one of our projects to Bing Maps (it supports https).

Google announced yesterday that sites can use the v3 API for free at https:

Try replacing

http://maps.google.com/maps

from

 https://maps-api-ssl.google.com/maps

Google allows https access for the Maps API v3, the Static Maps API, and the Maps API Web Services.

But with one condition :

If your site uses SSL because you charge a fee for accessing your applications or because your application is not publicly available to all users, you must still purchase a Premier Maps API license.
