The email I just posted contains a clear description of the Static Maps API limits (I hope).
The limits for the HTTP Geocoder API are documented here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#geocoder_limit If you are using the JavaScript API, then you needn't worry. We don't need to enforce limits with the JS API as it doesn't enable tile scraping as easily as the Static Maps API does. - pamela On Thu, Sep 3, 2009 at 1:33 PM, RoyHB<[email protected]> wrote: > > I know it's not rocket science but I just don't seem to be able to > grasp the limits.
