Hi, I know the v3 service replaces the v2 service, and the v3 documentation indicates that a key is no longer required for requests, but the request must be signed.
Howerver, the v2 geocoding documentation still indicates that a key is required: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/v2/index.html key (required) — Your API key. It is strange then if I issue the following queries, they all seem to work just fine: http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?&output=json&q=krakow http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?&output=json&q=shanghai,cn http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?&output=json&key=BOGUS_KEY&q=chicago,il I also don't need to supply the sensor parameter for it to work. Can someone clue me in on whether the docs for v2 are just out of date? What is really required here? Also, if I want to use the premier service, and the key is ignored (like it apparently is)...how would one use the premier geocode service without the key so the limitations on the number of geocodes per day is per the premier service level agreement?
