Yes, I am planning on switching to use Google Maps API instead but however
I was just curious if anyone has dealt with more than (let's say) 500
markers or more in the past and how quick was it for the map to load

Hi Andrew and Carlos,
Thanks for your input. Is it possible that the map load time could be
reduced to a minute or so by using geocoding service and have the server
load it by using Fusion tables as specified here
https://developers.google.com/maps/articles/toomanymarkers. This is
considering
Batch geocoding your points should speed up the load time all by itself.
The layers that article talks about are not available through the
Visualization API's Map visualization; you would need to use the Google
Maps API to have access to the layers.

Hi!
Like Andrew already said, it's better to geocode the addresses first.
If you use coordinates instead of text strings as the location data, the
markers will load much faster.
Like they in the documentation:
The fastest modes are dataMode='regions' with locations specified as ISO
codes,
15 minutes seems quite excessive, even if you are using the maximum of 400
points. I don't know how the Map visualization works on the back-end, but
you may have better luck batch geocoding your addresses first (Geocoding API
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/), and
