Usage limit Javascript

[ngzhongcai]

Hi guys, 

Got a question on the usage limit. How can we avoid hitting the API too frequently? Currently, my application is such that each refresh constitute a single hit on the API. I may need to store something offline in order to avoid running into the limit? But that will be against the Google's policy?

Say if it is a mobile app and user refreshes browser to find his current location. In refreshing, mobile app hits Google API even though the waypoints are all unchanged. But one refresh is considered one hit.

Change your application. Update without refresh.

What something will you store? You may not take a copy of the API.
