Hi,in the last weeks, in the FAQ i found a new paragraph dedicated to the usage limits.Here a piece of it:*"What transaction limits apply to the Maps API?* *There are currently no limits on the number of web based JavaScript or Flash maps a site can generate. However the Google Maps API Web Services and Google Static Maps API do have daily limits that are specified in their documentation.**From October 1st 2011 commercial web sites and applications using the Maps API may at no cost generate:**up to 2,500 map transactions per day that have been modified using the Styled Maps feature**up to 25,000 map transactions per day in total*..."and here the part relative to the costs: *"What constitutes a 'map transaction' in the context of the transaction limits that apply to the Maps API? **A single map transaction occurs when:**the Maps JavaScript API (V2 or V3) is loaded by a web page or application;**a SWF that loads the Maps API for Flash is loaded by a web page or application; or**a single request is made for a map image from the Static Maps API.**a single request is made for a panorama image from the Street View Image API."* So if i correctly understand, if my site generate more than 25.000 transactions i must pay $4 for each slot of 1000 extra transactions.What is not clear to me is:- if i use the javascript V3 version, the 25.000 are calculated for the IP ( so the client ), the domain ( so the web site ) or what?- Well, the costs are for commercial web site... but what is considered "commercial" from Google? A page with banners (es Adsense ) is considered as commercial? - 4$ for 1000 transactions?? well if a transaction is generated for each maps load, this is quite near to pageviews. So, if i put an adsense banner MAYBE i can reach a 0,80$ RPM... so i pay 4 to gain less than 1? I think this a great problem for the major part of web sites. Maybe ( i hope ) i don't understand well what is written.Can anyone help me to clarify these doubts?ThanksDavide
