I am interested in creating an application that allows users to draw on top of google maps and then store the information on the local device. For example, create a line of their favorite hiking trail. I may also make a site (ala, http://scribblemaps.com/) that allows users to generate shapes(lines, points, polygons) and then access them on their phone and/or share them with other people. Once on the mobile device I may do I variety of functions with the user generated content separate from the google mapview.
Given this content was generated by the user against the backdrop of google maps are there and licensing issues of which anyone can make me aware? I looked at this passage in the T&C "10.1.3 (b) No Pre-Fetching, Caching, or Storage of Content. You must not pre-fetch, cache, or store any Content, except that you may store: (i) limited amounts of Content for the purpose of improving the performance of your Maps API Implementation if you do so temporarily, securely, and in a manner that does not permit use of the Content outside of the Service; and (ii) any content identifier or key that the Maps APIs Documentation specifically permits you to store. For example, you must not use the Content to create an independent database of “places.”" Since I am not taking from google maps but only considering the user generated content I believe this is a valid use. I don't believe my approach would be a problem with the Terms and Conditions, or the above selection, however I was looking for feedback before investing more time.
