The requirement is that, PDF files which has the map image embedded to it will be created dynamically in the server-side. Once after this, the operations guys will print these PDF's and mail them to the respective users. So on an average 5000 PDF's will be generated on a day.
The windows service I have will generate the Google Static Maps URL string ex: http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=39.7003190685975,-104.929733276367&zoom=10&size=640x640&format=jpg&markers=color:red|label:S|39.7003190685975,-104.929733276367&markers=color:blue|label:1|39.719748,-104.986259&markers=color:blue|label:2|39.7003190685975,-104.986259&sensor=false and this URL is bound to an Image control of an RDLC file which is used to generate the PDF. Hence during PDF generation, a request is made to the Google server to get the map image response. I tested this and its working fine. My only concern now is about the usage limit (which is 1000 request per day). This boils down to - only 1000 PDF's can be generated per day :-(. So is it possible to increase this usage limit? or do I need to take a different approach to get this static image output?
