Updates: No web services, with 50 million impressions a day even the smallest addon hurts so adding a service request would kill response time. I would ...

As far as I can figure out from understanding their architecture, they are using their own map server (their visual map looks so beautiful). On geocoding and much other functionalities, they're still reliant on Google Maps API. Please post what you understand from ...
