What constitutes a call to the basic Google Maps JS api?

Just for background, I have an app which runs in both the browser and as a hybrid PhoneGap app, and which uses the Google Maps JS api.

Essentially, users pan and zoom the map and when a 'map idle' event is triggered, the app queries my API based on the current bounds of the idle map.

I'm just trying to find out what constitutes a call to the JS api?

Anyone shed any light on this?

Thx.

As stated in the Google Maps API:

A single map load occurs when:

  • a map is displayed using the Maps JavaScript API v3 when loaded by a web page or application;
  • a Street View panorama is displayed using the Maps JavaScript API v3 by a web page or application that has not also displayed a map;
  • a SWF that loads the Maps API for Flash is loaded by a web page or application; or
  • a single request is made for a map image from the Static Maps API.
  • a single request is made for a panorama image from the Street View Image API.

The degree to which a user interacts with a map once it has been loaded has no impact on the usage limits.
