Why is Term 10.1.1(a) unclear? "You must not access or use the Maps API(s) or any Content through any technology or means other than those provided in the Service, or through other explicitly authorized means Google may designate. For example, you must not access map tiles or imagery through interfaces or channels (including undocumented Google interfaces) other than the Maps API(s)." > If it is not possible to use the tile server, how can we get the tiles > from Google Maps without forcing licence trouble? Use the API. That has the added advantage that it will always retrieve tiles, whereas your proposed method may break. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
