That's the thing. Is there a definition of web browser without any possible doubts? I can name most of the well known web browsers, but not *all* web browsers. For example a mobile application written with j2me which has basic xhtml 1.0 rendering capabilities and that lets users enter and follow any displayed link is considered a web browser? > > You would do better to have your desktop application formulate the > request, submit it direct to Google itself and display the result in a > browser control, and not have a proxy server at all.

If I understand well this limit makes static maps unusable in most mobile applications also when displayed with a web browser: - the requesting IP is usually not the device (natted) but the APN of the mobile operator - server side rendering browsers like opera mini reach soon the limit Am I correct with this assumptions? bye, ff --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
