Hi Just a few thoughts If I had a successful business would I want one of my core features to be owned and operated by another company maybe even a competitor? Why should Google not make money out of it as it is costing them to supply the service? If you are using Google Maps as a core feature what is to stop somebody else stealing your idea and using Google or even Bing Maps,maybe even Google itself?
