Hi, I work on a solution to display a static map on cell phones. But I've a problem : there are very often quota overflows (so i can see this picture : http://code.google.com/intl/fr/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/images/quota.png).
The fact that a mobile operator use a same IP address for thousands of phones seems to be the problem. I read on a google group that google knows the IP addresses used by operators and modifies quota for them, nevertheless it's doesn't seem to be the case for all of them (I'm french, so I tried with our three operators : Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom.) The only way I found to avoid the probem is to develop a proxy that will request the image from the google API and next will send it to the client. So, the proxy can count the number of requests and stop sending new ones when quota overflows (in order to avoid blacklisting). What do you think about this solution ? Is it allowed by the Google's terms of use ? A simpliest way to do would to detect the quota overflow and to store th status for 24h. Does the API send a specific header in its response when quota is overflowing ? Thanks, -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
