You mentioned 1000 per day. My suggestion was to let a client geocode them **once** and then save by AJAX to your database. That's the same load on Google (once per address), but distributed from several different IP addresses (from your visitors). > It is no option to geocode "at home", because I have to constantly > geocode every 3 minutes.

The gain is that you don't hit the quota limit because others are also doing the same from the same IP. > My workarounds are: > - use another geocoding engine, like yahoo Doesn't Yahoo have a quota too? -- Marcelo - http://maps.forum.nu -- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
