    Not if you’re using them commercially as an API. I have used various Google Maps APIs on a number of projects. It’s all databases.

      That API doesn’t let you do everything tho, only a number of operations like embed Google Maps on their websites or apps, perform geocoding operations, get directions, and more.

      It doesn’t give you direct access to the database!
