Hallo, I'm a student from Germany. I have a short question regarding the Static Maps API.
We are currently developing a mobile application for the BlackBerry Curve8900. The application requests a "Static Map" from google to display the current location of the user. Here's what I found in the API... Can I use Google Maps in my non-Web application? 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. (http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/maps/faq.html#tos_nonweb) 7.1 Definitions. (a) "Brand Features" means the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of each party, respectively, as secured by such party from time to time. (b) "Content" means any content provided through the Service (whether created by Google or its third party licensors), including map and terrain data, photographic imagery, traffic data, or any other content. (c) "Maps API Implementation" means a software application or website that uses the Maps APIs to obtain and display Content in conjunction with Your Content, according to these Terms. (d) "Your Content" means any content that you provide in your Maps API Implementation, including data, images, video, or software. Your Content does not include the Content. (http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/maps/terms.html) So... is it allowed to use static maps on a mobile device?
