9.1 and 10.4 have this wording:

"9.1 ...Your Maps API Implementation may not charge an incremental fee
solely for the Service."

"(may not) 10.4 charge users or any other third party any incremental
fee solely for the use of the Maps API Implementation..."

This isn't very clear. Does "solely" mean that all the application
does is bring up a web page in the browser? What if the application
does a lot more, like figure out the coordinates of the user and then
ask for the page that could be accessible for free?

Here's an example.

I have this page (v3)

http://www.usnaviguide.com/v3maps/WhatZipCode.htm

The page can take two parameters, lat and lng to center it in on a
location.

This page is in the open and can be accessed by any browser for free.

If I write an paid access application for a mobile device that
calculates those parameters, creates the associated URL with them and
then calls up the page, is this a violation or is this ok?

I can read it that it's ok because the mobile application isn't solely
displaying the web page, it's also doing a lot more, the web page is
the result. I can also read it that the applications sole purpose is
to display the web page but also does something to pre-process the
URL.
