It *would* seem pretty clear, except that we were previously told this by someone on the Maps API team:
Rather than count the Maps API script tag load, we will trigger a count > event when a map is successfully displayed. This ensures that sites that > include the script tag on pages that do not actually display a map > (surprisingly common due to the use of standardised headers in content > management systems) are only charged for those pages where the API is > actually used. > But my testing leads me to believe that it is actually counting every script tag load regardless of whether or not a map is displayed on the page. Because I figured other people would probably have the same question I started this discussion because I wanted an opportunity to publicly discuss the question and determine if the current behavior is the correct behavior that we should expect, or if there's a problem that needs fixed in order to make it conform to their previous explanation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
