Understanding the use and the limits of the free Google Maps API

Hello Support Team,

I suppose that you have some experiences with Google APIs and before reading endless docs, maybe you could clarify the next questions.

1. Do we need just the Google Maps JavaScript API without using and considering the limits of Google Maps Geocoding API ?

2. As for now, we can use the Google Maps JS API until 25000 map loads over 24 hours. So, a user accesses the homepage, the map loads first time, then he does a search accessing the listings site and the map loads the second time, then accessing the listing detail site and the map loads 1 or 2 more times if we have the map in the sidebar enabled. So each call of different directory site means a load of the map and one user can load multiple times the map in one session. What about when the user is zooming out and in and dragging the map, clicking the markers and so on, do we have for each action a new map load? In that case, we will have quickly 10 map loads and so maybe just 2500 users can use the map with the free API. Could you please correct me, if I’m wrong.

Greetings, Marius
