I am involved in a research project which is using Google Maps as the source of calculating coordinates along a route. I intend to make a query with start and destination GPS coordinates, extracting the intermediate coordinates along the legs of the route, and the distance and durations of each leg. The coordinates I can access by using http://maps.google.com/maps?<<parameters>>, but the accurate distances and time durations aren't available here, to my knowledge. The "display" text for distances is shown without time values, and this display text is rounded off from the actual values.
I have read as much as I think is readily available regarding terms of service for the Maps API, which I know I can successfully query to retrieve the distance and duration values, but with a limit on the number of queries made, and with the intent to display on a web page. My question- Is the Javascript API encompassed by the Maps API regarding terms of service? I could have sworn I read somewhere that the Javascript API did not have a query limit, but I may have been overdosed on text at that point and read what I wanted to see. Also, there don't seem to be restrictions on ordinary queries, but the data I need isn't contained there so I have to resort to other options. The results of what I am doing intend to be available for public use in the form of research, though extracted and analyzed first.
