| What Is a Usage Transaction? |
| |
| Your application will place calls to the the MapPoint Web
Service for finding addresses, maps, routes, and driving directions. MapPoint
Web Service counts these calls from your application as Usage Transactions.
A usage transaction takes place every time a user clicks within your
application and calls MapPoint Web Service for a response. For example, when a
user initially puts in his or her address information and then clicks on the
Submit button asking the MapPoint Web Service for Address Find, that is one
transaction. When a map appears in response to the above Address Find, that is
a second transaction. If the user then clicks on the map to zoom in, that is a
third transaction. A fourth transaction occurs if that user requests driving
directions. A fifth transaction occurs if a map is delivered showing the
driving directions. A sixth or more tranaction occurs if the user clicks on the
map to zoom in or out. A transaction occurs for every action that requests a
response from the MapPoint Web Service. |
|
| A Usage Transaction occurs when your application makes a request
to MapPoint for any of the following functionalities: |
|
| Find Methods - Find, Find Address,
FindNearBy (or any successor name thereof) |
|
| Rendor Methods - GetMap,
GetBoundingMap, GetRoutMap (or any successor name thereof) |
|
| Route Methods -
CalculateSimpleRoute, CalculateRoute (or any successor name thereof) |
| |
| In your monthly usage report, the transactions usage is
summarized by method. |
|
| When you purchase Map4MyApps.com services, you are purchasing
Usage Transactions for the above functionality methods that InfoGrow purchases
from MapPoint. You will receive a set number of Usage Transactions at a set
monthly rate, under an annual agreement, much like your purchase of minutes
from a cell phone company. Each month, InfoGrow will charge your credit card a
fixed rate, based on the Usage Plan you select. However, if you accede the
Usage Transactions associated with your plan, your credit card will have a
second charge for Usage Overage. |
