@Chris- thanks for the feedback. It's weird that you get OVER_QUERY_LIMIT, it means that Google thought too many Geocoding requests were made from your IP. When you move the map (or search for location and move there) the geocoding is done from the client side, meaning that Javascript Maps API hits a query limit. API docs say that for most users and usages this shouldn't happen, but since it does I will look into this issue again.
@en4ce- thanks for your feedback. Actually we don't use different icons for different zoom levels. When you zoom out what you see is a Heatmap which shows different colors based on marker density, rather than individual markers. We use the experimental FusionTablesLayer to present a large number of markers on a single map, and this approach has some advantages, but it also has drawbacks - we can't cluster the markers and can't present different icon types based on category. We hope these features will be supported by FusionTablesLayer in the near future. You can read more about Google Maps + Fusion Tables here: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#FusionTables I didn't understand the question re InfoWindows - we configure the info window using FusionTables - essentially each info window is a little snippet of HTML that we can define the way we want.
