We can't confirm anything, it is up to you to decide whether your use is allowed by the Terms or not. We can give you our opinions, but you have to read the Terms for yourself and make your own decision. If you are't sure, you should consult a lawyer (most of us are't lawyers or associated with Google). -- Larry > > On Mar 19, 5:36 pm, Rossko <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Mar 19, 12:23 pm, Praveen Nair <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > I have read that I can use Google Map API for free if I am restricting > > > the number of hits to 50K.
