[DUG] Access to street maps

Mon Mar 14 09:42:16 NZDT 2011

I was the Product Marketing Manager for the company that, up to a few months
ago, used to supply the data to Google Maps.

Yes, essentially you are right and Google have not really worked very hard
at gaining revenue from that source, however that time will come and it is
important to know where you stand. Essentially, once you have turnover, then
you will need to purchase commercial licences but hopefully that will mean
that you are making lots of money. - Google will want some that money.

Actually, I think that its a great commercial licence. I only wish Delphi
and some toolmakers used the same licence. I'd love to develop stuff using,
for example the latest Delphi and Woll2Woll's InfoPower tools but I just
can't justify the licence cost until I get over a certain turnover, THEN I
could buy them.
