Yes, that's what that answer is designed to address. > 2) I have a site where some restaurants are displayed on a map. the > map is freely available to the final user. > Now, i want to charge a small fee for each restaurant to be > displayed on the map and give them a password protected page (again > directly on a google map) to modify the position on the map and other > relevant data of their activity. > Am I within TOS? How about http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#tos_commercial? "If you charge people to place information on your map (e.g. to list their homes for sale), but you display this information using the Google Maps API on a free part of your site, you'll also meet the Google Maps API Terms of Service." The administration part of your app, where your paying customers can update their data, is covered by the first FAQ you quote. I think your application is within the rules. [As with all TOS questions, developers here can only give you their own opinions based on their own understanding of the Terms and FAQ. You need to decide whether you agree, and take any risk yourself.] Andrew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
