We have a BlackBerry application that uses the Google Static Map to get simple maps images to show the location of ATMs (the map request is without pins nor routes as we draw them manually… we just specify a center and a the dimensions). The first problem that we had was that when we tested the application using WIFI it worked correctly but when we tested it with 3G connection did not. Analyzing the problem we detect that it happened because all the 3G connections of a Carrier uses the same IPs so for Google they are all “the same viewer” (and quickly exceeded the usage limit).
We solved that problem making our WebServer to request the Google Static map images (the BlackBerry application requests the WebServer for the map image and this WebServer request it from Google). Is this the correct solution?. After doing that, what we notice now is that by doing some little testing (for sure less than 100 requests) we rapidly get the “Limit usage exceeded” and as far as I know, that should not be happening since the limit is 1000 per day: “1000 unique (different) image requests per viewer per day” (https://developers.google.com/maps/ documentation/staticmaps/#Limits ). It is important to mention that this application is not in production and I am the only user that is testing it. Why we are getting the “Limit usage exceeded” son soon?, Thank you very much! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
