I noticed that after I sent the message, sorry. Maybe some other people will see the enhancement request and vote for it, I did. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't expect the google engineers to be able to answer legal questions about the TOU and I wouldn't expect google legal people to be looking at this group. The managers have sometimes piped up on questions like this if they knew the answer or had an opinion. If they implement the overview map, it becomes a moot point and it is pretty high up on the list, I'm not sure why it hasn't been implemented (now that question one of the google engineers might answer). Just my 2 cents...
