So are you saying that whether I place one marker, or 10 markers, it's only one transaction? Technically the map isn't reloading. I'm just placing and clearing markers every 10 seconds depending on it's current location. So i'm a little confused as to whether that's one transaction or 10 transactions, or no transactions.
On a side note, I don't recall anything about a API console. But I just found it and Google Maps API v2 or v3 aren't listed. Will that likely show up before January 1st?
