Question for Google staff - I spoke with Sales yesterday about getting a business license and they mentioned something that's been bothering me and would preclude from getting a license.
Our main usage will be the Static Maps API, not javascript. Every request for an image will be for a standard base map and at most 5 pushpins. Pushpins will be passed in as lat/lon and do not need to be geocoded by Google on the fly. Sales staff said that every pushpin counts as a geocode/geocoding. ?!?! And that would go against our limit of 100,000 geocodes/day [on a paid license]. This doesn't make sense. We're not really geocoding anything, we're passing in a lat/lon. Did Sales misspeak? Or if you _do_ count every pin against the geocoding limit, then maybe best not to call "geocoding" but "putting pins on a map" since it's not really a geocode operation. Can someone please help clarify? Thanks so much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
