"I'm not expecting high traffic volumes, but it can in some circumstances make 100 requests in a single page load. "
That's your problem. Google Static Maps API limit states that it can have 1,000 requests per day. However it actually is 250 requests over a six hour period (over 24 hours it still adds up to 1000 though). However there is another unpublished limit that you are running into. Google Static Maps has a maximum of 50 requests within a minute. Thus if you have 100 maps on the page only the first 50 will come up. To get around this make sure you have a maximum of 50 maps displayed on a page. Here is a previous thread I participated in where Pamela outlines the above limits: http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api/browse_thread/thread/a0f317384003b0db/fd1f33fc41eaf1e2 Cheers Brett On Oct 14, 9:22 am, davecozens <[email protected]> wrote: > Guys, > I'm getting an image from the Static Maps API that looks like a map > with a red x through it, with a speedometer underneath in the red. > > I assume it means I'm being throttled.
