[?] I don't know if I'm breaking the Terms. Let me tell you the big picture and you'll decide if I really break the Terms.
I display a Google map in a div. I have many buildings with their (lat, lng) in a database. At each building position on the map, I'd like to put an image, which is too complicated to draw using javascript. So I decide to draw an image having the same size of the div using AWT on the server side, write that image to a file on the web server, and send the image url to the page containing the Google map. The javascript part on that page will create an overlay on the Google map. That overlay is nothing but a <div><img src="url-to-the-newly-created-image"/></div>. So to be able to draw that image with AWT, I need to convert a (lat, lng) to a position in the div. Is that legal to do that? Please advise. Thank you.
