We are planning to develop a website displaying locally based information and using geolocation to identify user's geographical position. In order to do so, we would like to use the Google Maps API. We are currently investigating to double-check if our concept fits with the Google Maps API Terms of Service. After reading those terms we still have a few interrogations, which we would like to ask you directly, in order to get the confirmation that our application matches those terms. Could you please confirm that the following points are complying with the Google Maps API Terms of Service?
- We want to use a Google Map as an easy way for users to give us addresses by pointing a location on the map. That means that we would like to use on our website the addresses retrieved by reverse geocoding from Google Maps and display them on pages as plain text without the Google Maps included. - We would like to cache the coordinates of those addresses in our database in order to display them faster on our maps as suggested in the FAQ. We would also like to use those coordinates to retrieve the user timezone or to display the distance between two different points through the website possibly on pages having no Google Maps included. Any display of the positions themselves will be done with Google Maps API on several maps on the website. Could you please confirm that those developments would meet the Google Maps API Terms of Service standards? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
