Re:Decision to store geocodes on Wednesday July 25, 2007 @07:17PM (#36741)
sorry let me in explain. i will have a database of locations and it already stores the address. i havent looked to deeply into the google maps api, so i am not sure if I will make just 1 request to google for the entire map or if it requires 50 requests to get every marker on the map.

so, would it make sense to cache the results? anyone have good links for tips on memcache?

thanks already for the great feedback

Decision to store geocodes

I am working on a website and am planning on implementing a google map on each page and would need to make between 10-50 geocode requests on each page. Is it smart to have a whole new table just for storing these geocode address or is it easier to just hit google every page refresh? Thanks in advance.
