haha, this is true, I read 'dynamic' as the ability to zoom in and drag around, which is only possible if you get really clever with layering your svg's and trust me, that becomes a nightmare!
Correct, as I stated above the google api is only free for a number of hits if the application is web facing.
I still maintain an OSM solution would be the best, but without knowing the exact requirements you are quite correct in suggesting the svg idea.
Public facing means ..... your QV server should not be fully covered with the firewall. For dynamic map QV server must be able to communicate with the google server to download map image based on lat n long values.
If QV server is compleatly behind the firewall it will not be able to communicate with google server.
The Standard Plan can be used for free, external, and publicly available implementations. Your service must be freely and publicly accessible to end users.
