I'm having a very difficult time determining the specific needs that make a "Premier License" a necessity. I find Google's documentation in this regard to be extremely confusing and inconsistent. The closest post I've found that addressed the same issue was placed Sep 21, 2010 and still has NO replies...
http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-js-api-v3/browse_thread/thread/a82b929b0b16616a/6ed72783f1a9627d?lnk=gst&q=premier#6ed72783f1a9627d I'm developing an app that requires the lat/lon of the user's birthplace. I built a great mechanism by which the user could get the information either by doing a string search for address/city/state or by selecting the location from a map. Both methods utilized the JavaScript API V3 to return the geocoded location. This one piece of information probably represents less than 1% of the total application development, but is essential to the rest of it. THEN, I came across something in Google's API documentation that makes me think that ANY use of their APIs in a "paid" app requires a $10,000/ yr license... even it the cost of the app was only $0.99. I'm finding it very difficult to get a solid answer regarding what constitutes the need for a "Premier" license. I can't imagine that there could be such a fine line between "free" and $10,000+/yr. Am I missing something in the legalese? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
