This is great, but read the TOS. By using this, you are bound by Google’s overall TOS, including I imagine its use of any
data your create through using this feature. And you are bound by some interesting Navteq policies (that’s the data provider), which are, well, read the fine print. In short: Don’t mess with them. They are particularly irritated by any hacking with regard to automobiles, thank you very much.
And don’t even think about using this in a commercial manner. Er, but, what is commercial these days? I guess we’ll see.
The strategy is clear. Local is a huge business play for any search driven company. And the more distribution you get, the better. Smart, eh?
