Hi all,

I am using geokit for google map. It works fine but some time it gives  
me error like

“Google returned a 620 status, too many queries. The given key has gone  
over the requests limit in the 24 hour period or has submitted too many  
requests in too short a period of time. If you’re sending multiple  
requests in parallel or in a tight loop, use a timer or pause in your  
code to make sure you don’t send the requests too quickly.”

Any idea for this???

Thanks in advance.

It’s telling you that you’ve hit a rate limit on google’s geocoding  
api. You’ve pretty much got to do what the error message says (and  
perhaps look into whether you can cache some of this data)
