The technical question: I am using Google Maps API to produce maps containing GTileLayerOverlays. I intend to include these maps as figures in printed documents, and want to include the same copyright notice that appears on the screen version of the maps in their printed versions.
I have tried treating GCopyrightCollection as an instance of Control and created a GCopyrightCollection.prototype.printable function to no avail. Is there some other interface to make the copyright notice appear on a printed copy of an API-produced map? The legalisms: The documents I produce will be filings with government regulatory agencies and in court proceedings. Pointers to live Web site content are not an acceptable substitute for printed documents in these venues. It is unlikely that more than a dozen or two copies of any of these documents will ever be printed. As a non-attorney citizen activist, I am not compensated in any way for this activity nor for the documents I create; this activity is entirely at my expense and there is no prospect of any cost recovery. After reading it carefully, I believe this use is consistent with the Terms of Use of the Google Maps API. However, since these documents will form part of a legal record, I want to ensure that they are legally spotless. At most zoom levels and for most geographic areas, the copyright notice presently reads, "Map data (c)2008 TeleAtlas except FCC data in the public domain." The geographic areas covered are restricted to CONUS, AK, HI, and PR; no other US territories are covered. Limited adjacent territory in Canada, Mexico, and the Carribean may be shown incidentally, unless there's an API hook that can excise it. Thanks for any help!
