Re: Commercial Use for this

Frank,

Maybe you are a bit confused. Yahoo prohibits commercial use without
permission, Google, on the other hand, welcomes commercial use as
stated here in the FAQ:

http://www.google.com/apis/maps/faq.html#faq4

4. Is the Maps API available for commercial websites?

Yes, it is, as long your site is generally accessible to consumers
without charge. For example, if your website is supported by
advertising, it likely falls within the terms of the Maps API. Or, if
you charge people to place information on your map (e.g., to list their
homes for sale), but you list this information on Google Maps on a free
part of your site, you'll also meet the Maps API terms of use.

However, not all commercial uses are allowed. For example,

* Premium websites - If your site is only available to paying
customers, you cannot use the Maps API.
* Enterprise websites - The Maps API is not available for use
within enterprise or intranet applications.

Remember, Google reserves the right to suspend or terminate the use of
the service at any time, so please read the terms of use carefully.
