KEY LEGAL TAKEAWAYS WITH GOOGLE MAPS (IANAL!) • http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html • Must be free, but you can require logins. • The API requires you to report things sometimes (like if you’re using a sensor) • Link to Google's Terms of Use • Explicitly state in your Maps API Implementation's terms of use that, by using your Maps API Implementation, your users are agreeing to be bound by Google's Terms of Use • You can pre-fetch, cache, or store api data for improving the performance of your Maps API implementation, as long as it’s temporary, securely, and in a manner that does not permit use of the Content outside of your service
