Hi Ben, Thanks for your reply.

Yes, well, I have just got blocked again, after only 4000 queries at 1 second intervals. Thanks for the suggestions, but: > 1 - use the tiles that we've already generated from the same elevation data. That's no fun. I was hoping to make my own cool tiles. :) > 2 - request more than one point per query. The documentation indicates that queries with multiple points may return less accurate results. > 3 - subsample your region. Our elevation data may have a lower resolution > than your target, in which case you would be making redundant requests. I don't have a target. I was just having some weekend fun and hoping to add a nice looking demo to my site. It was only another "experiment" I wanted to make, and based on the docs, I thought that I was welcome to grab 25,000 results per day, but I don't want to upset Google, so I guess I'll forget about it.
