Google's ToS says you're not allowed to do any computation on your own?

I mean, I'm not disputing it, I just hadn't realized we were already there.

Section 3.2.3 of the Google Maps ToS

> (c) No Creating Content From Google Maps Content. Customer will not create content based on Google Maps Content.

> (d) No Re-Creating Google Products or Features. Customer will not use the Services to create a product or service with features that are substantially similar to or that re-create the features of another Google product or service.

For the use case described in the article it sounds just fine. The content part is a big vague. If read very broadly it would be super prohibitive. Perhaps it is?

i don't see how using this is different from using the directions api for the purpose in the article?
