The actual limit is not specified. Perhaps they want to be able to adjust it if the servers get overloaded. Or perhaps they didn't want hundreds of users coding their pages to issue requests at exactly the legal rate, which might possibly cause them all to get entrained and cause weird unbalanced loading of the servers. Knowing it wouldn't help you much anyway, because the situation is affected by the variations in Internet packet transmission speed. If you wrote code that issued GDirections requests at exactly the legal rate, the variations in Internet latency causes the rate of requests arriving at the server to vary enough to push you over the limit. The announcement that GDirections was given a per-second rate limit is here: http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/msg/654432198f9d891d -- http://econym.googlepages.com/index.htm The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
