I'm afraid it does violate the Gears Terms of Service. Direct use of the server using the JSON protocol is prohibited. See section 5.3 of http://gears.google.com/tos.html. You can only use the Google location server through the Gears JavaScript Geolocation API. See http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_geolocation.html. We publish the JSON protocol to allow third parties to implement their own server, which Gears can then be configured to use instead of the default server provided by Google. Steve
