Thanks! I guess using ads would be my only solution then... And yes this is for Android - I'm aware of it not working on iOS as maps loads an external swf which IOS doesn't allow.

Yes I believe so, and yes the enterprise license is very cost prohibitive for paid mobile apps. You could release a free app that is ad driven however, that is completely acceptable. If you must charge there might be other APIs out there that don't have the same restrictions. Keep in mind however that the flash maps API does not play well if at all with the flash packager (if that is what you were planning to do). I don't believe anyone has had success using the flash maps api with the flash packager for iOS. It should however work on Android.

So, just to make sure - I cannot charge even a modest fee of 50 cents, for an app in the market, if it uses Google maps? The only way would be to get the enterprise license? I recall that being totally cost prohibitive for my app... Dave Mennenoh Flash Developer GMR Marketing office 262.780.8858 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> GMR Marketing 5000 S.

You can charge for development of a Google Maps application. The terms of service and the enterprise license apply mostly to applications that do not have public access, or require a subscription to use. So if you're planning to sell an application using a Google Maps API, then you would have to acquire an enterprise license. I imagine if the kiosk is publicly accessible, it should not be an issue. If you develop an application for a client, and they want to lock it behind a pay wall, they are responsible for getting the license, not you - and you should inform them of the terms of service.

Can you charge anything for an application created with Google Maps? I mean could I charge 50 cents for an app I make for market? What about a full blown application for a kiosk that I build for my employer that uses maps? Can we charge our client for this?
