Hi Misuse was probably the wrong word What I meant was geocoding is limited to 2,500 geolocations a day(http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/#Limits) As we can see in other posts Google are starting to charge if map transaction excede the limit. To future proof we should be searching or own databases first then only using Google to geocode the remainder. ie Requests to Cities and Towns should be made to inhouse databases requests to addresses using the geocoder. The initial poster used Paris and London as examples which should be obtained from inhouse.
