Transaction limits usually apply to whatever is making the requests (individual clients, server-side requests, wherever). For example, whenever a client loads the API, that's one map transaction. A server- side geocode request is one geocoder transaction. > I wasn't able to find this in the FAQ or ToS. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#usagelimits However: you are correct that it's not clear whether a "map transaction" is counted against the key -- all the clients are aggregated together -- or the client (by IP address). It may be advisable to ask in the Version 3 Group as Google frequent that more and might clarify the counting rules. Version 3 doesn't require a key, of course, so it becomes a question of whether a "map application" is based on its location (and the referrer header is used for counting) or its users (where client IP is probably used). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
