Hmm. Static Maps must be displayed in a browser, that is, via an <img> tag in a web page. If you do that, you shouldn't be using them server- side, because each client gets its images from Google, and they have decided that 1000 new images per client is reasonable. Even a Premier licence doesn't increase that limit. So your question is "How do I get round the restrictions and the Terms of Service?" for which the answer is invariably "You don't. You redesign your application to work within them". I suppose that might sound harsh, but the Terms are there to share the service amongst all its users. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
