Hey Ross, I appreciate the help greatly - especially since I couldn't post any code to look at.
Does this mean that, as long as each user doesn't abuse the service or use it too much, in general I'm safe from the limit? I doubt anyone would go over the 15,000 call even with my algorithm; I was just worried about the aggregate effect. There's no connection at all with my API key? My program first takes the average of the coordinates to approximately get the best place - because of natural landmarks like lakes, gulfs, etc. though I found that using time is a real necessity. As for the licensing, do you know if there's an established program for small businesses or individuals? Or were you just referring to how a large business might be able to negotiate a deal with Google? Once again, thanks for the response! That's a huge relief to me.
