The tweet mentions "Do not use outside of Google applications, for instance on a non-google app" is this a citation from the TOS or an interpretation of what is saying? I could not find the paragraph where this is mentioned.

I think it's misinterpreting

>(e) No Use With Non-Google Maps.

it is indeed that.

How could it be used with non-Google maps? Are they saying don't overlay another map on it, somehow?

Here is the rest of the section.

>To avoid quality issues and/or brand confusion, Customer will not use the Google Maps Core Services with or near a non-Google Map in a Customer Application. For example, Customer will not (i) display or use Places content on a non-Google map, (ii) display Street View imagery and non-Google maps on the same screen, or (iii) link a Google Map to non-Google Maps content or a non-Google map.

They have a public api via which you can extract a lot of data, geopoints with annotations about what is there exactly. I wanted to compare OpenStreetMaps tag amenities=restaurants to what google has. If I do that I will breach two points of the TOS: visualizing their data outside of their maps, benchmarking.
