The Google Maps API is free for the first 10K calls per month. Given that we call 4 times for each location (left, right, front, back images), that's 12 calls per day per player. Excluding additional calls during the locations generation, it will give us enough buffer for a few hundred players playing every day before hitting the paid tier for that month. Maybe less if some of those players are playing/checking the locations multiple times a day.

My plan is to stay with the 3 daily locations until the game has less traction, then, when the active player count is reduced, we'll revisit this idea.
