As a workaround, add this to your code:
// ... your map load ...
if (_mSvgEnabled) { setTimeout("DelGmnoprint();",5 00)};
My developers are telling me that my site is likely going over the
15,000 geocode requests per day quota and accordingly, the api is
throttling new requests.
Is it possible to ask for an extension? If so, who do I contact?
Otherwise, what are my options in figuring out a solution to this

Do you think it's possible to use that to get GPS coordinates and
display them with Google Maps API?
I hope I'm not forgetting something, because it's too nice to be true.
