They probably have their own database that they read into and then the site loads off of that. To make paid API calls every time a user visits the site would just be bad design.
They have to load the map using that maps JavaScript. Same thing happens with google maps. With low monthly traffic it costs them little to nothing. In other words every time the map loads it counts as another API call
Does this happen if I just go to the site a lot? If I reload it?
Gotta call the map up. Not just the site.
Gotcha.
Yep as long as the map loads it will be counted
Does that mean I could just drag the map to a different spot and click the Search Here button?
