True for Google Maps.  After all, why should you be able to make money on 
the back of a feature that they provide to free....but

Not true for Google Earth (kinda)....which includes all the functions of the 
maps.

Under the free Google Earth and the licence terms, there is a little 
loophole.

You can't provide or distribute GE to your customers.
You Can't include a component that loads the images or parts of GE into your 
application (like you can with the IE or Adobe Reader's AcitveX controls)

Your customer CAN get GE for themselves. (of course, like Google Maps, to 
use it they have to be connected to the Internet...unless they are a BIG 
customer who can purchase their own GE server)
There is nothing in the license about HOW GE receives its mapping requests 
or pointing information so....

You can include in your application a component that writes .kml (keyhole 
mark-up language) files and either have GE refresh automatically (there's a 
GE setting) or have the user select the landmarks themselves.

ALSO (and this is REALLY neat)

While the free GE disables some functions for the paid version (GE Pro), the 
free GE still knows how to use these advanced functions. (GE Pro just has an 
interface for creating them)

If you read through the GE/KML language reference, your application can 
create .klm files that uses all functions of GE.

No, I don't have anything ready that I can post....but I have been 
experimenting. (I've also been experimenting with getting the Lat/Long back 
out of the results from looking up an address.)

Bernd and Silvio


This works perfect... very very nice...

How would I be able to do the same for coordinates
instead of addresses ???

In the middle of a mountain there is no street numbers ;)
