populating database using google map api

hi guys, i want to fetch data using google map api and store in my database. is it legal. what actions might google take if it does not meet its terms and conditions.

 

What data are you looking to save in your DB ? And what will be the use of it, this is important...

 

you want to show map using your data or extracting data from map?

 

I am wondering the same thing on this. Does anyone know the restrictions of using Google Places data to populate a marketing database? Might it just be that you put the powered by google logo in your app?

 

I think it is illegal, because we save Google map-rendered as our own. IMO, as far as we use their API (Google Map API) and execute it from its sources (map.google.com), it is legal.

 

is it posible to determin the distance between two lat/lng values with the google api? And is het allowed to save the fetched lat/lng values in my database with an adres?

 

You don't need Google API to get distance between 2 points (lat/long), you can have it calculated with a formula (I can help you, I did it already).
As for saving some lat/long values I don't see any problem, as long as you don't use specific information provided by google and their TOS policy.

Good luck!

 

does using google map cost anything?

 

nope, it is free
