I don't see the point. Walking routes (in the UK at least) don't direct pedestrians along motorways. There are **far, far** worse errors in the driving directions than no pavements for walking, and driving directions don't come with a health warning. [And no, that's NOT a plea that they should!] It often appears to those on this side of the Atlantic that lawyers on the other side assume people have no common sense whatever. Unfortunately a side effect of that is that many lose what common sense they had because they're protected from the consequences of not having any. Anyway, enough philosophy. A constructive suggestion: Why not put in the TOU that the copyright notice must always be displayed, if they don't already say that, and add the warning to the copyright string? That would be unobtrusive and still present. It shouldn't be necessary to mandate using Google's directions formatting if someone has taken the trouble to do their own. Pity: a great feature, well worth having (apart from the big yellow warning) Andrew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
