Could someone advise on the quota limits to Google maps geocoding api? I'm using geocoding on android. The Google maps Api site states the limit is 2,500 per day. Is this total for the API key? or per IP address? I have found this article:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/geocodestrat.html#quota-limits
which states that the quota limit is tied to the ip address, however this is referring to websites. Can anyone answer this? Obviously this is a huge difference and 2,500 geocode lookups per day per device would be enough for most applications.

There is no hard limit for the Android Geocode API
I contacted the Developer Support
Asking:
And got this reply:
fyi: (we also save these lookups in a database on the local device once done so they don't need doing again)
Therefore there is no hard limit on the the Android GeoCode API useage, more just a fair useage policy per device (client)
