Generating map in location field by API

I have gotten some inconsistent results when it comes to generating a map for a location field.
Doing it manually has never caused any problems, but using the API it seems like some API rate limit (for Google Maps API?) is being hit.

Adding location data by API to one or a few items is not problem, the map generates just fine.
However, when I do a large batch of items, the map is no longer created at some point.
The map can be generated successfully for 10 or 200 items before it stops working. When its not working, only the address is shown, no map.

  Hi Anders, your observation is correct: we currently have a limit of 250 lookups per 24 hours per user in place. If you need an immediate workaround, you can geocode the addresses yourself and pass in lat and lng as part of the field value to get a map in web interface.

  Andreas Garnæs Not sure if you are with Podio, hope you can help though. It took me really long to find out about the 250 limit, happy i did now. I have built my own integration with maps which is quite easy to do, but i can't find a way to set 5 separate fields for the location multi-field in Globiflow. I only get the 1 address field. So having built my own integration, how do i use Globiflow to then actually set the field so that it fills out as a multi-field? I have been talking to support (April) for 2 weeks now, and they are really trying but i just can't seem to get an answer.
