What are the capabilities of your users' devices ?
Is JavaScript supported ?
Is DHTML supported ?
Is the DOM supported ?
If all are "yes", you can use static maps instead of the dynamic maps
API. With no indications to the contrary, I believe it is legal.
500 to 1000 markers are a lot for even the API to display
simultaneously. You can use tiles or you can use small positioned
DIVs with no images. Click and rollover handling is less difficult
with DIVs than with tiles.
