really? :-/ "10.2 copy, translate, modify, create a derivative work of, or publicly display any Content or any part thereof (for example, the following are prohibited: (a) creating server-side modification of map tiles; and (b) stitching multiple static map images together to display a map that is larger than permitted in the Maps APIs Documentation);"
I'm not stitching them together, and I'm not really modifying them ...just adding 3d elements over the top. I mean, I guess on a code level I am copying them, but I'm not modifying them server-side or caching. I thought copying meant more on the file-level, like downloading a few hundred and serving them from your own (publicly accessible server). What my code would be doing would be; a) Setting the mapView to a location. b) Taking a bitmap from it (including the logo etc). This would probably be done with the "getDrawingCache" which is a MapView function. c) Using this as a (overhead) background for 3d elements ontop. I've already tried using mapView with an openGL view literally overlaid onto it, however, the openGL view doesn't come out transparent for some reason. (which is odd, as a Camera view works as a backdrop nicely).
