That's exactly my point See terms http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html 10. License Restrictions. ... you must not ... 10.2 copy, translate, modify, create a derivative work of, or publicly display any Content or any part .... 10.3 pre-fetch, cache, or store any Content ... See also the note on http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/directions/ "the Directions API may only be used in conjunction with displaying results on a Google map; using Directions data without displaying a map for which directions data was requested is prohibited." I'm not a lawyer, its not my company that will get sued, you should satisfy yourself that you are not creating a derivative work from Google's content, and that you are displaying Google's Directions data (in whole, with any warnings and notices) as expected. I don't know of any other way to get street polylines for free; though you might consider OpenStreetMap, or paying for it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
