Interesting question :-) I'm not sure that it is compatible. Static Maps have a stated usage limit of 1000 unique images per user per day. You propose to get round that limit by storing the maps. The Terms do allow caching, but only "for the purpose of improving the performance of your Maps API Implementation" -- not for circumventing the usage limits. One question which does arise is why the end user needs to see 2000 maps every day. Is every user really that interested in every location? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
