openlayer with mapquest number limit of transactions? - limits

I'm using Open Layer v3 with MapQuest as a map, I'm asking about the limits of request per day ?
In case there are a fixed limit, can you suggest me another solution with no limit.
Thanks for reaching back with me, as soon as possible.

All access to MapQuest tiles should be through the MapQuest sdks. There is no OpenLayer plugin for MapQuest tiles.

Can HERE map tiles display road speed limits?

I would like to know if the HERE map service allows a developer to configure the tiles to display road speeds in some way?
I see that HERE has APIs for road speeds, but I am not after fetching data, processing and drawing it myself. Rather, I have a map control in my project, and that map control uses the HERE service to fetch map tiles, and I wanted to simply have an option to fetch tiles that (also) displays speeds.
Is there such an option? I have been looking through the docs, but haven't found a way yet.
Regarding some volatility information the Map Tile(raster) API supports only
truck restriction tiles: https://developer.here.com/documentation/map-tile/dev_guide/topics/resource-base-truckonlytile.html
and traffic flow: https://developer.here.com/documentation/map-tile/dev_guide/topics/resource-traffic-flowtile.html
Vector Tile API supports only roads, topologies, cartos and labels - doesn't support also any speed info.
Therefore you can use only Fleet Telematics API that returns only speed limits data then push this info as markers into map, See please examples on https://tcs.ext.here.com/examples/v3.1/pde_speed_limits_in_view or https://tcs.ext.here.com/examples/v3.1/pde_speed_limits_along_route
or https://tcs.ext.here.com/examples/v3.1 - there search by keyword like 'speed'
Documentation:
https://developer.here.com/documentation/fleet-telematics/dev_guide/index.html
https://developer.here.com/documentation/content-map-attributes/dev_guide/index.html - we don't have any examples for this new api.

Maximum number of avoid areas exceeds limit using avoid areas

I am trying to get a route between two points using avoid areas with Routing API HERE maps and I am having the error "Maximum number of avoid areas exceeds limit".

I would like to know if this limitation is because I am using a free trial plan or because the API have this limitation. In this case any idea to solve this limitation?
Below you could find the here guide to use Avoid areas, if someone is interested.

Thanks,
This is an API limitation. Trial credentials don't limit the functionality of available service.

Why is "natural_feature" excluded from Google Maps Geocoding and Places API searches?

Trying to mimic the 'what's here' feature of Google Maps in my own website but it seems that items of type 'natural_feature' are excluded from Google Maps 3 API geocoding and places searches, both nearby and radar, and also on text searches unless the EXACT name of the place is provided. This must have been an informed choice by Google to do this - anyone know the rationale, and better, offer a workaround? Seems crazy that I can't get the names of woods, nature reserves etc. any more...
Found out how to do it! If you get a geocoding API key from Google you can get all the data for natural features included in the JSON/XML response from a server request like the following (I was trying to get the data for "Gamsey Wood"):
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=52.4180698,-0.2029999&result_type=natural_feature&key=YOUR_GOOGLE_GEO_KEY
Happy days!

Google Maps API and ASP.Net

I am new to Google Maps API and I have a requirement to integrate Google Maps API with an ASP.Net application. Is there a Google service where in I can input a UK postcode and radius as input parameters and get results only, without the map.
For example if I search for solicitors in a particular area like Z1 1XY (not real post code) with a radius of 5 mi, can I get the results of all solicitors with the postcodes 5 mile radius? Is there any service that would return the result set only? I know GeoCoding does something similar but can I provide radius as one of the input parameter and get results.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Geocoding API may only be used in conjunction with a Google map; geocoding results without displaying them on a map is prohibited. For complete details on allowed usage, consult the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.
Source: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/#Limits
yes, you can use the Google Geocoding API to do address lookups (in this case postcodes). The response contains lat/lon co-ordinates which you can then subsequently use as the epicenter of your search to find items within a radius. Have a look at this blog post on how to use the DbGeography in .NET to perform radius queries based on lat/lon co-ordinates.

OVI Map Route API Over HTTP

I'm doing some research on route distance calculation APIs, and I came across this API from Ovi/Nokia: http://api.maps.ovi.com/devguide/getting_started.html#Services
Does anyone know if they have an equivalent REST API that can be used outside of a client browser scenario?
If not, what's the best option for route distance calculation APIs? I've looked into Google, Bing, and MapQuest, but I would like to be able to use it internally without a daily rate limit.
Thanks for your help.
There is the maps image API, if showing the routes as images are sufficient. This page has the complete list if Nokia Maps APIs.
I do not want to repeat what is done, so please refer to the Nokia API reference, but to be more accurate use distance method from nokia.maps.geo.Coordinate. The complete documentation is here
