Hi Bryan, Are you going to be using the Google geocoding service to convert your address to latLng locations? If so and with that many address then it would seem it would constitute a batch service and you will be required to have a premier license.
For more information on a premier license you can read http://www.google.com/enterprise/earthmaps/maps.html Hope this helps - Luke On Sun, Dec 5, 2010 at 3:52 PM, Bryan Jonker <[email protected]> wrote: > I work for a company that has multiple addresses for our providers > (100,000+), with addresses getting added and removed often.
