The FAQ says specifically:
What constitutes a 'map load' in the context of the usage limits that
apply to the Maps API?
A single map load occurs when:
the Maps JavaScript API (V2 or V3) is loaded by a web page or
application;
a SWF that loads the Maps API for Flash is loaded by a web
page or application; or
a single request is made for a map image from the Static Maps
API.
a single request is made for a panorama image from the Street
View Image API.
The degree to which a user interacts with a map once it has been
loaded has no impact on the usage limits.
