Hi!

I've been looking for a tool that allows me to translate a Dutch
postalcode (zip) into coordinates. The Google Geocoding HTTP request
seems to fit the bill perfectly and it would be a great solution to by
problem.  The reason I want to translate it is that I need a way to
calculate between two points (User inputs the postal code, gets
translated into coordinates and distance gets calculated by the use of
a formula) and then filter search results within a X radius.

My question therefore is, am I allowed to do this? The Google Maps API
T&S states:

"10.12 use or display the Content without a corresponding Google map,
unless you are explicitly permitted to do so in the Maps APIs
Documentation, the Street View API Documentation, or through written
permission from Google"

I would guess that it would therefore not be legal to use the API as
described? (As a way to translate postal codes into coordinates that
can then be used to calculate distances between points. Without any
use of an embedded Google map or something to that effect)

Is it, or is it nog legal and should I just email Google to ask for
their permission?

Thank you in advance,

Dean Vaessen
