Just remember we are talking map loads here not unique visitors. One unique visitor could create a map load 10+ times a day or more.
Jeff it's not a case of anyone who asks about implications of having 10,000,000 hits being delusional it's simply a case of pre planning for that sort of traffic whether that means planning steps required for hosting or use of the actual Maps API. We all dream about that sort of level of traffic and some of us might even achieve it who knows. Better to have tried and been prepared than not to. My point is that the acquisition of info regarding this for that planning stage seems somewhat difficult. To Highlight what Davie said Youtube having 800m unique vistors a month how many times are vids played in that month? When Youtube first started would you, Jeff, have said they are all mad dellusional I can just watch tv what do I want to watch home movies on the internet for?
