http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#tos_staticmaps_reuse Says you can't take a screenshot and put it on your site, but it also says so long as it gets served direct from google it's okay... so I think it would be legal to do this in Flex:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical" creationComplete="application1_creationCompleteHandler(event)"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.events.FlexEvent; protected function application1_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void { theImage.source = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY&zoom=14&size=512x512&maptype=roadmap&markers=color:blue%7Clabel:S%7C40.702147,-74.015794&markers=color:green%7Clabel:G%7C40.711614,-74.012318&markers=color:red%7Ccolor:red%7Clabel:C%7C40.718217,-73.998284&sensor=false" } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Image id="theImage"/> </mx:Application> Would be great to get confirmation on if this is officially abiding by the rules but so far as I can tell it is and it works.
