Thank you for checking with us first. The latest version of openGTS defaults to using the Nominatim instance from MapQuest[1], as far as I know. So you should ask in their forums[2] about the exact limitations. They are a bit more liberal than osm.org in their usage policy. Regarding use with nominatim.osm.org, openGTS is currently blocked because of multiple cases of massive overuse of our server. As a general rule, reverse geocoding for tracking devices is unlikely to comply with our usage policy unless you have very, very few devices or a very large query interval, or your software uses heavy caching on the client-side.
