Would it be possible to restrict certain users from adding their lat/long? For example, I might only want senior members to be able to enter info, but everyone to be able to view. My forum has about 10,000 members so I couldn't imagine the map with 10,000 pins.

The restricted usergroups is planned for 1.0.4
1.0.3 will be released this week and the will cancel out a lot of the high volume load that was caused by the special characters in IE. That is fixed now.

http://www.xboxusersgroup.com/forums/VBGooglemap.php is running the new one already.

The map reads an xml file that is created by the script on the fly. The map construct is client side.

It's just a potential issue not a proven one. The queries and xml construct are very fast (certainly in the next version). The problem might be the javascript reading of the XML in very high volumes.

This is a warning issued by Google not by me. I would say just try it and if this occurs I'll try to find a solution.
