Re: Google Maps API Key

Andrew, I'm trying to get your point but I can't.

"The reason this is relevant is that a browser will handle the key
and
its verification automatically. A J2ME app may run into problems
since
the server-side checking has been strengthened."

I don't understand what's the difference between requesting an static
map from web browser, and requesting one from J2ME HttpConnection.
If i'm right, I can get an image from a web browser typing an url like
this: http://maps.google.com/staticmaps?x=xxxxxx&y=xxxxxxx&key=MY_KEY.

Google's server will recieve my two requests (browser, j2me) in the
same way, because if I try to get the map from my app, when I open a
HttpConnection with Get method, I use the same URL that I describe
before to get it. In other way, I'll hardcode the key inside my app so
the user can not change it, so the server-side cheking will be the
same, am I right?.

Sorry if I'm so insistent, but we're developing a free application
that needs to show a map's interface, and i could not find any
Google's API to do that.
So I need to paint the image inside the app because I want to simulate
Iphone's GoogleMap API, that has movement.

Thanks for your time Andrew.
Nicolas.
