I want to create a mobile application that uses the Google Maps API to:
1. Calculate a route from the user's current position to the destination specified by the user. 2. Update the user's position on the map so they know where they are on the route using the device's internal GPS. The problem is I read in the Google Maps API Terms of Service ( https://developers.google.com/maps/terms#section_10_2) that apps are not allowed to use the API for real time navigation or route guidance. (c) No Navigation, Autonomous Vehicle Control, or Enterprise Applications. You must not use the Service or Content with any products, systems, or applications for or in connection with any of the following: (i) real time navigation or route guidance, including but not limited to turn-by-turn route guidance that is synchronized to the position of a user's sensor-enabled device. I was wondering, does this fall into the category of a "real time" navigation application or will it break Google's Terms of Service? I'm not re-routing the user when they go on a different route. Once the route has been calculated it doesn't change until the user conduct's another search. Does anyone know of a product similar to this that uses Google's API? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
