I'm on the other side of the debate from Marcelo. I take it that the TOS say that the map must be publicly available, or any password must be free. Since you charge a fee, then you must make your map publicly available to avoid the Premier charge. However, the map must be reachable at a single url by both logged-in and not-logged-in visitors. If they've logged in, they get data added to the map. If they haven't, you don't serve the data. The issue is that Google's logo and the provider copyright string must be available to as wide an audience as possible. If you restrict those, you need a Premier licence. If anyone can see them, it's ok. What data you show on the map and how you regulate that is up to you. I don't see a problem with that; but then I'm not a lawyer either (but I have had to deal with making abstruse legislation actually work) Andrew --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
