Yes it does, provided your application adheres to the other restrictions. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#tos_nonweb Yes, the Google Maps APIs can now be used in Desktop applications, provided that they adhere to the other restrictions of the Terms of Service. Note that in order for a desktop application to be deemed "publicly accessible", there must be a publicly accessible webpage from which it can be downloaded. See Section 7.1c of the Terms of Service for more information. There are restrictions on how you can use the data if you are not displaying it on a map (I believe, IANAL). -- Larry > > On Apr 22, 4:42 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > > > > > On Apr 22, 6:52 am, JuKKi <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > hey guys, > > > > im using googlemaps for a project im working on, and i require to > > > calculate the walking distance from one point to another.
