And for the record, it doesn't violate any of the terms. It's probably a good thing you arent' a lawyer. Tardaronious.

(a) require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access; or
(b) operate only behind a firewall or only on an internal network (except during the development and testing phase).

We are free, we just require a sign up process. We also aren't behind a firewall.

Sigh. All that nonsense for what?

For all others, I posted it on an easily accesible URL. Here is is again. kyndoutdoors.com/google_map_test.cfm

If that site is using the free API, then I believe it is violating
Google's Terms of Service, specifically point 9.1, as it doesn't look
as if any ordinary person can get a login to that site.

But hey, I am not a lawyer.
