Well it's a dilemma. After reading numerous Terms of Service I found the following. The Android Maps API Terms of Service (to be found here: http://code.google.com/intl/en/android/maps-api-signup.html) state that > 5.4. Subject to these Terms, you may develop, display and/or distribute your > Maps > API Implementation as part of a commercial or non-commercial enterprise. So I may sell my app in the Android market and don't need to distribute it for free. Furthermore this includes the use of the Geocoder class ("including, but not limited to, the “android.location.Geocoder”"). BUT in this Terms of Service, the Google Geocoder API is not explicitly mentioned. Consulting the Android developers reference (http:// developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html) it says > The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in the > core android framework. Since I have no control over the "backend service" used, can I store the data returned by the geocoder in the android framework without limitation? I would say the situation is quite confusing!
