See this page from Mike Williams' tutorial: http://econym.org.uk/gmap/geomulti.htm Check the response code. If you are getting 620, you are going too fast... G_GEO_TOO_MANY_QUERIES (620) The given key has gone over the requests limit in the 24 hour period or has submitted too many requests in too short a period of time. If you're sending multiple requests in parallel or in a tight loop, use a timer or pause in your code to make sure you don't send the requests too quickly.
