Read 10.8 again. It doesn't say "on a website", it says "implementation in a web browser". Yes, PDFs do violate the Terms, because a PDF cannot be viewed in a browser: the browser needs a helper application which is not actually part of the browser. Static Maps must be called via an HTML <img> element. This is made explicit in the documentation: "You embed a Static Maps API image within a webpage inside an <img> tag's src attribute. When the webpage is displayed, the browser requests the image from the the Static Maps API and it renders within the image location. Note that static maps may only be displayed within browser content; use of static maps outside of the browser is not allowed." Having said that, there is no restriction on using CSS to provide a correctly-formatted print version of a web page and allowing the user to print their own copy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
