If you're unable to make the query with a own timeout perhapt you're able to make the query using a background process and kill those if there is no response within 30 seconds?

This has the benefit hat your app is not unresponsive during the query. (but I guess more than moving the map should not be allowed during it to avoid a unexpecting state (menu open) when the background process delivers the result)
