My web site uses google maps

and i’m simply showing the map with some markers for a search results
we are stil in beta so only employees know where the site is, so there is not much traffic.

what happens when the page is called we do a search then render the page in js we build the marker to be added but …

sometimes we get the error 503 when trying to load the map
with this content

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
<title>Sorry...</title>
<style>body { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; background-color: #fff; color: #000; }</style>

    The problem is that google really thinks that someone from my location is sending automated requests

    if i go to maps.google.com is can see the captcha,

    if i go on web sites that also use google maps, i can’t see the map there either, so it’s not related to my website.

    my work around for the time being
    in the google map div I will put a link to maps.google.com with instructions on how to resolve :
    go to maps.google.com , fill the captcha , return to web site.
