Rossko, your suspicions are not unfounded ! I believe that if you apply for an OpenSpace API key and display the OpenSpace PowerdBy logo and copyright text + EULA link then you can make a Web App that does a JSON full UK postcode lookup without loading the OpenSpace API software (as can be done with the 1:50K gazetteer). However ... the service can only be used to pan a map and NOT for creating routes (and you only get 1000 look ups per 24 hours).
"6 The Postcode Look-Up must only allow the return of mapping tiles in response to an End User entering a postcode (or part thereof) into the Web Application. No postcodes (or part thereof) shall be accessed by or supplied to End Users, nor in any way displayed on or through Your Web Application (whether in conjunction with a mapping tile or otherwise), for example, but without limitation, in response to the End User clicking on a location within the mapping." Also it seems you can only create a GPS route for personal use (including on a GPS receiver) not a route to share with others over the web (this needs clarifying). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
