i want to know if i can use the data (for exaple a tour from point A to开发者_运维问答 point B) and extract it for example to save the tour infos to an text file or post it somewhere or do whatever i want with it? i want to use maps as a database, so what are the restrictions, what am i allowed to do?
I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice, but my reading of the terms of service is:
According to section 10.12, you are not allowed to show the "Content" except in conjunction with a Google map. I'm pretty sure the route information would be considered content, so you wouldn't be able to post it somewhere else unless you show a Google map with it.
You are allowed to "temporarily" store the "Content" in your database, if it is for the purpose of later showing in conjunction with a Google map (section 10.3).
