Geocode multiple addresses in one call

[Michael O'Brien]

Is it possible to geocode multiple street addresses with one geocoder.geocode call or does each call need to receive and return a single address?

Hi Michael,

It is not possible - you will need to do one call for each address.

OK, So I have a website that tries to place a maximum of 12
markers(right now, it will get bigger) when a user logs in based on
where store locations are. Is there a way I can geocode that many
addresses in a very short ammount of time without getting the
"Over_Query_Limit" response from the geocoder.geocode call? Is that
part of the "Premium" thing that I noticed somewhere in the
documentation?

If the location of the stores is fixed (which I presume it is), you should be caching (temporarily) the geocoded information and using that to display results based on the spatial query.

See for example: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/articles/geocodestrat.html#caching

Cheers,

Andres
