Hi,

I have a question about caching (in a database) the glongitude/
latitude values of a postcode obtained through Google Maps API.

According to Google Maps API terms and conditions published in
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html it seems I cannot pre-
fetch or cache results from Google map API. However, it also says I
can cache for the purpose of improving performance..

I am wondering if following scenario violates the Google terms and
conditions.

Whenever a new office location (store) is added to my application's
database from a back-end batch process in the server, I am calling the
Google Map API from the server side in order to obtain the geo-
coordinates of the UK postcode of that new location. And then I store
the coordinates of the postcode in the database, along with other
information of the new office location.

I am doing this do improve the performance of a radius calculating at
the run time.  If I am to calling the Google map API for each and
every office locational run-time, it will be very slow.

Number of office locations could grow up to 500 or so over the time,
but currently there is only 70 odd stores.

Appreciate of anyone can shed some light in to this.

Thanks

-Prasad
