title: Is it allowed to cache static google maps?
body: <p>I'm having some issue with static Google maps generation. The API has "a query limit of 1000 unique (different) image requests per viewer per day. Since this restriction is a quota per viewer, most developers should not need to worry about exceeding their quota".</p>
  
  <p>However when using a shared connection, as instance with a mobile phone and a 3G access (phone operators), this limit seems to be problematic.</p>
  
  <p>Hence my question is the following: can I retrieve the image server-side and serve it to my clients? Is it allowed?</p>
