I think Greg's point was that he shouldn't have to say so. Even if he were using the free API, there was nothing in his message to indicate a TOS violation. It was only a misunderstanding of the TOS that led anyone to suggest otherwise. Loading a map from localhost? Pretty safe bet that a developer asking about this is developing and testing, which the TOS specifically allows. -Mike -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
