Google has a licence to be able to display the mapping data on their own site. They have bought a licence to that effect. They haven't got a licence to be able to display the mapping detail on third party websites (ie sites using the API or the embed option) > > I know a bunch of people in Tel Aviv, and if I understand the problem > clearly, I may be able to get to the right person to solve it. You need to find a mapping provider that has the data, and is willing to give Google a licence to display it. (at a price that Google is willing to pay :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
