<p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><font size=3 color=black
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>In my
OpenLayers application application, the user will have the option of using many
types of basemaps: google, bing, yahoo, OSM, plus some custom types.<br>
<br>
I see that in the terms of usage for google, bing, and yahoo, it says that
geocoding results must be used with the corresponding map (e.g., results from
google's geocoding service must be displayed in some way on a google map). I
also see they all put a limit on the number of geocoding calls you can make per
day.<br>
<br>
Two questions about this:<br>
<br>
(a) I'm trying to understand how strict the part about using the result on the
corresponding map is. For instance, if my application offers all these various
map types, including google, is that sufficient for using google geocoding
results on *any* of the map types. Or would I have to use google geocoding only
when the user has selected a google basemap, bing geocoding when the user has
selected a bing basemap, and so on? If that's the case, what are my options for
geocoding when OSM is the base map?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

(b) I'm trying to understand whether the daily limits on the number of calls to
the geocoding service are per machine or per application across all client
machines. I think it must be the former, but it's not clear.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
