Barry's hinted at the answer to this. >> As per the terms of use of the Maps API, the key needs to be included, but also do note that as per the same ToU the geocoding is only for use with a map, so not displaying a map would be against the ToU anyway. So if you are not using a key they you are not using the API, and so the ToU applies from Google Maps/Local. And that is even less liberal what you can do with it. << When you use a key, you're using the API. When you don't use a key, you're not using the API. The API and Google Maps use different geocoders, so the results may differ between them. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#geocoder_differences Andrew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
