Hi rjcarr, When you say you're planning to use Google Maps in an offline mode (or away from the cloud), could you elaborate a little on what you mean exactly or how you're planning to use the Maps API? I'm not a policy expert, but I think that what you're trying to do is use the Maps tiling, but not through the actual Maps API, which would probably constitute a breach of the Maps tile data usage policy.
You can check out the FAQ about this at the link below. It's possible I've misinterpreted what you're planning to do with the Maps tiles data, in which case just let me know and we could be on our way to a solution for your application. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#tos_tiles Hope that helps, -Sumit Chandel On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 6:21 AM, rjcarr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm wondering if anyone has developed a GWT Widget for viewing a set > of GIS tiles very similar to Google Maps.
