Although the static maps documentation doesn't mention geocoder limits, I'd expect about the same limits to apply to any service that ends up using the Google geocoder service. Because static maps is a direct HTTP call, it returns standard HTTP error codes, like 403:Prohibited, rather than the more meaningful 620:Too Many Requests.
Geocoding is a time and resource intensive task. Google are unlikely to give away a facility that bypasses the normal geocoding limits and put unlimited strain on their geocode servers. I suggest looking for some way to reduce the amount of geocoding you require, or consider the possibility of using a non-Google bulk geocoding service. -- Mike Williams http://econym.org.uk/gmap -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
