Two conflicting statements for using google static map

I found two conflicting statements regarding the marginal use of google stati map api

According to this link , 25,000 usage restrictions are allowed per day.

According to this link 1000 usage limit is allowed per day.

Now i'm confused which one is right

25000 is the limit for each site, 1000 is the limit for each viewer. The site is tracked by the URL or developer key. Viewer is tracked by ip address. My browser loading your page will count 1 against your site restriction, and 1 against my restriction on viewing IP addresses.

To get the API key, you can apply here: https://code.google.com/apis/console/

Limits apply. 25,000 for your application, 1,000 per user, as Mano Marks said. But if I stand you right, do you just want to link the card? Why don't you just use the standard google maps link? Then you would not have any restrictions.

And yet, if you just refer to the staticmaps call (for example, this example ), your application has nothing to do with the staticmap call - it's the users decision to open it. I think there will be no restrictions for this. (But maybe they MUST track the referrer and apply a limit to your page.)
