I think that's fine. The principal reason for displaying a map is to get the Google logo on to users' screens, together with the Terms of Use and copyright text. Once is enough! > b) The terms clearly state that your website must be public, but that > it can be protected by a login only if you don't charge your users a > fee.

It appears your application is for internal use -- your contracted engineers' details are only available to your employer. That requires a Premier key. If your map allows *anyone* to view your contractors' details, that would be fine; but you can't vet login applications in that case. Anyone must mean anyone, and I guess that depends on whether your contractors' contracts allow them to work for anyone else while they are contracted to you. If they can, then you're doing them a service by allowing other people to book them; if they can't, presumably you won't want potential employers contacting them while they are contracted to you, so it becomes an internal system and needs a Premier key.
