I would say not. If you're using the iPhone SDK, then these Terms apply: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/iphone/terms.html. Term 10.1 means that you must use documented methods of accessing the Content (eg the map tiles); 10.2 precludes making copies of the map tiles. If you're not using the iPhone SDK, then the standard Terms apply: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html and 10.1/10.2 are the same. Static Map images can only be used in a browser (10.8), so if you want Google Maps in an iPhone app you will need to use the Javascript API (webkit? SDK?) in order that you can use an approved method of getting tiles. As you can tell, I'm not an iPhone developer; but the Terms are explicit, in my view. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
