I expect you've seen this -

the technique can be used for GDirections too.

The limit applies to the end users IP, assuming you're getting the
GDirections client-side in the approved way.

Knowing nothing about what you do already, you might be able to
program cleverer.  If comparing a 10-mile straight line distance with
a 50-mile straight line distance, you can make a reasonable guess
about which will take longer without resorting to GDirections calls
(to find the road distance and times).   Only use the calls when there
is some doubt.

In exchange for cash yes ...
