So? The documentation doesnt say "you only use it for X", or "you may not use it for Y". It says its not designed for it. A stone is not designed to hammer nails in, but it can be used. > But if it was allowed to use the api dynamically, the limitation of > 2500 requests per day (per IP?) wouldn't be a problem. > I just need locations for addresses. Yes its per IP address. But the issue with mobile development, mobile carriers often pipe all requests though a couple of proxies. So all the users of that carrier share the same IPs. The limit is not per application, so it applies to all users accessing the API, not just accessing it for your app. And the limit is not strictly enforced per 24 hours. Its rate limited only. Its designed to allow the 2500 to be spread over the whole day. Can 'spike' and use them all quickly. All means you will be dealing with quota denials quicker than you expect. > > The native solution with javascript wouldn't work for me, unless I can > do the same with it as with the ios MapKit, like showing custom pins, > showing tooltips on touching the pins and reacting on touching the > tooltips.
