You don't "install" the API. You specify that the client downloads and uses scripts. Traffic from Google to your site server: none, unless you are doing server-side geocoding. Traffic from your server to Google: none, unless you are hosting KML or other files Google needs to display your data. Most of the traffic is between Google and the client browser, and depends principally on the number of tiles downloaded (and re-used from the cache). That depends on what the user does, and the number of tiles needed to display your map (= how big it is on the page), whether you use Streetview, etc. But that doesn't affect your site server. An average size for a tile might be around 35k. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
