Google Maps Limit

Hello,

My database stores the latitude and longitude of every customer. Those are then used to populate a Google Map with the following code:

      //--- Add Map Marker -------------------------------------------------
      var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
          position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng),
          map: map,
          icon: pinImageBlue ,
          title: name,
          url: url
      });

Open in new window

I'm aware that Google puts a limit on the number of Geocoding calls one requests.

Does my code count against that daily Google Maps limit?

If so, then is it possible to store the "position" variable in my MySQL database?

Basically, I don't want to bump up against Google's limits when this thing goes into production.

Thank You!

You cannot block to count the Google API limit. Go through more details here to go paid services, https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/business/

Thanks for your help!

I geocode the street addresses when someone joins the list in another form. That will never reach the daily limit. Then when I map it, I use the previously geocoded latitudes & longitudes, so no need to geocode here. I just wanted to make sure that the LatLng doesn't count against it.
