What do you mean by "acquire the image", "taken and incorporated into"? This sounds to be against the Terms to me (7.3, 10.1, 10.2), well before you run into the question of charging. Does your unique service actually use the API, or just an image of the map? > I plan on charging my user a fee to use this service (which relies on > Google Maps) Term 9.1. You can't charge a fee to access your implementation of the API. You can charge for a service which uses the API, like adding markers to a free map, and you can provide a specific interface for that charged service (like an administration function); but anyone anywhere must be able to access your map implementation for free. > Let me know if I am being too vague.
