Hi All: My understanding is that Google does not allow the display of its maps on websites if the website requires a fee to access the site.
I'm developing a travel guide website. It will be free at first, but I eventually hope to require an annual membership fee, which of course would be small ($10-20/year). I'm a "little guy" who certainly won't be making big bucks off the site. If I were to use Google Maps, would I be in violation? In other words, does Google have an "all or nothing" approach to fee-based sites? I've looked into the Premier API...and it appears to be priced exorbitantly high (like $10,000), which is obviously ridiculous for a little guy like me. Also, does anyone know what Google's position is regarding the display of static screenshots (e.g. a JPEG file) of Google Maps on a website? (In other words, not an actual, functioning embed of Google Maps.) Finally, if anyone has any more specific information for how I could actually speak to someone at Google about this (to get straight, accurate answers) I'd be grateful!
