That suggests you are requesting several in a single batch. Not only is there a maximum number of requests per day (actually it's a quarter of the daily allowance every six hours for Static Maps) but there is a *rate* limit as well. That can vary depending on server load, but you would be well advised either to request maps at a constant rate through the day, or hand off the requests to the client browser so each client gets its own limit which they are unlikely to reach. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
