You have to ask a lawyer for that. And the more lawyers you ask, the more opinions you will get. I am not a lawyer. But tangoGPS uses its name as user agent, i.e. it does not disguise as Internet Explorer or Firefox. So simply from a practical point of view Google can block it easily. As long as tangogps users are less than 0.000001% of the traffic I guess they wont bother. And if you start downloading larger areas you quickly get a 24 hour penalty... In any case I am sure they have tuck loads of excellent lawyers :-) > B - Quality of pictures (Google maps) in Tangogps is not the same as > Google apps . for example check this > location<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=32.7026,51.1537&spn=0.046946,0.097418&t=k&z=14&key=ABQIAAAAEHSQK1vAAAuBZm_l9nDfuxR-o64xXIeDw7j_JZZzFnbEVH6OthQCJTz0e4bbm3CpyEKMFqf7FEzFIw&mapclient=jsapi&oi=map_misc&ct=api_logo>in > both . > Maybe this is cause of the differnece between maps.google.com and > http://khm.google.com/ pictures ?? No difference here for that very location. And I never saw any difference elsewhere. > C - Google app shows street names with an option "show label" .

Zoom to the area you need and click on the map. Choose the last entry in the pop-up menu and follow the instructions.
