I've written an app to help people find records "near" other records.

The app I've written has worked perfectly (as far as Google is
concerned) for quite some time, and now, randomly I get 620 errors.  I
haven't geocoded anything today.... I can't see why I'm getting these
errors.

I've tried different machines, different keys, I am at the end of my
rope.

Here's my app:

A user clicks a link on a record.  All "Nearby" records within a
certain radius....get mapped. (Capped at 35 markers).

I am definitely NOT hitting 15k calls, or sending too many too fast...
of this I am sure.
I don't have more than 70 items to map (in my test environment and I
geocode them in timed intervals to make sure I don't hit the API
limit).

The way I've setup the app:  Initially all records will go through a
geo-coding phase. In my humble opinion, it's impossible to know which
accounts are "nearby" from just the addresses alone, so I geocode them
and store the Lat/Lon data.  I then use the Lat/Lon to determine if
they are near other records.

I know Google's T's and C's say that you have to Map the accounts, and
I do... just not at the instant they are geocoded, I don't know if
that breaks the rules... if it does... I will map each record as I
geocode it, not a big deal...

Here are my questions:

1) Any guess as to why I'm getting the 620 Error? (my bet = T&C's)
2) IF it's a T's & C's thing, can I get the ban lifted, to fix my
process?
3) Does anyone know if putting MARKERS on the map (not geocoding
them), counts against the API Limit?
4) Any ideas on how to find "Nearby" records without first getting all
the Lat/ Lon pairs and using the coordinates as the criteria for who
gets mapped?


Pamela... if you're out there... please chime in!  You've brought a
lot of insight to the threads I've read.

Thanks in advance to all the group members.
