Hmm, it would be interesting, what is the base of this approximation?

Here is the "official" defintion:

Found on <http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#tos_mapload>
And you can find there the interesting declaration if you consistently
exceed the limits, you will be contacted by a sales manager to discuss
licensing options. I'm rather not interested in such discussions,
especially if I use digikam only.
