Really quick/simple question that will determine which map API i use for my project.
I dont need an example- ill figure that out, i just need to know if the capabilities are there.
If i have store geocode (latitude, longitude) coordinates in a database, can i put one of those little red markers on a google map without having to actually make a geocoding request from google?
Additional question:
Also, would it count towards any quotas every time i display one of their maps, even if i give them the geocoded coordinates? Because i mean technically their map still has to find those coordinates…
Q1: Yes — you tell the API the coordinates of where to put the marker, rather than get Google to find those coordinates.
Q2: The usage limits are published by Google. You can have up to 25000 map loads per day. If you don’t use the geocoder because you provide the coordinates yourself, then you don’t use a geocoder access.
