Google Places API 是一项使用 HTTP 请求返回“地方”（在此 API 中定义为场所、地理位置或著名兴趣点）的相关信息的服务。“地方”请求将位置指定为纬度/经度坐标。

四个基本的“地方”请求：

1) Place Search 会根据用户的位置返回附近的“地方”列表。

2) 地方详情请求会返回关于某个特定“地方”的更加具体的详情。

3) 地方所在位置可让您报告某位用户已到达某个“地方”。“所在位置”用于衡量某个“地方”的热门程度；频繁的报告位置可以提高该“地方”在您应用程序的 Place Search 结果中的排名。

4) 地方报告可让您向“地方”服务添加新的“地方”，还可删除您的应用程序已添加的“地方”。

注意：其中请求URL中的types有如下类型：

Google Places API 具有以下查询限制：

拥有 API 密钥的用户每24小时内最多可以提出 1 000个请求。
已另外通过 API 控制台验证过身份的用户每 24 小时内最多可以提出 100 000个请求。验证时需要您提供信用卡信息，您可以在控制台中启用结算。我们不会因您使用 Places API而从您的信用卡中扣除任何费用。

虽然较低的限制对于研发和测试而言已经足够，但我们建议您在发布应用程序之前启用较高的限制。

第一步，申请API密钥，。您可以通过 Google API 控制台管理 API 密钥。要激活 Places API 并创建密钥，请执行以下操作：

访问 API 控制台（网址为 https://code.google.com/apis/console）并使用您的 Google 帐户登录。
您首次登录控制台时，系统会为您创建一个名为 API Project 的默认项目。您可以使用该项目，也可以通过点击窗口顶部的API 项目 (API Project) 按钮来创建一个新项目。
在 Places API 列表中点击激活，然后点击确定，以继续操作。
如果系统弹出提示，请选择要与此产品配合使用的 Google 帐户。在开发人员预览期间，您必须选择要用于接收邀请的帐户。点击允许。
仔细阅读并接受服务条款。随后您会返回主控制台页面。
点击左侧导航栏中的 API 访问 (API access)。您的密钥会列出在此页面上。

第二步，拼写发送http请求的url，注意需使用第一步申请的key；

第三步，接收http请求返回的数据（支持json和xml格式）。

1.1.5接口示例

1) Place Search：

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&types=food&name=harbour&sensor=true&key=AIzaSyBMGzm-1zXeLX-QNi9N7ozRJWZlREyYEe4

2) 地方详情请求会返回关于某个特定“地方”的更加具体的详情。

B. 样例图：

4) 地方报告可让您向“地方”服务添加新的“地方”，还可删除您的应用程序已添加的“地方”。

地址解析是将地址（如“1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA”）转换为地理坐标（如纬度 37.423021和经度 -122.083739）的过程，您可以根据转换得到的坐标放置标记或定位地图。Google Geocoding API可让您通过 HTTP 请求直接访问地址解析器。此外，该服务还可让您执行反向操作（将坐标转换为地址）；此过程称为“反向地址解析”。

Google Geocoding API包括地址解析和逆地址解析功能。

Google Geocoding API 的使用有限制，即，每天 2,500 个地理位置查询请求。（Google Maps API Premier 用户每天最多可执行 100,000 个请求。）强制执行此限制是为了防止滥用和/或重复使用 Google Geocoding API。以后可能对此限制进行更改，而无需另行通知。此外，我们还强制设定了请求速率限制，以防滥用此服务。如果您超过了 24 小时的限制或者滥用此服务，Google Geocoding API 可能会暂停为您服务。如果您继续无视这个限制，将会阻止您对 Google Geocoding API 的访问。

请注意：Google Geocoding API 只能与 Google Maps 配合使用；不能只进行地址解析而不在地图上显示结果。有关允许的用法的完整详细信息，请参见Google Maps API 服务条款许可限制。

第一步，拼写发送http请求的url，不需要注册Key/密钥

第二步，接收http请求返回的数据（支持json和xml格式）。

地址解析：根据地址获取坐标

URL样例：

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=china+guangdong+zhuhai+%E8%A1%97%E9%81%93%E5%9C%B0%E5%9D%80&latlng=22.26972711397229%2C113.57751578092575&sensor=true&language=zh-CN

注意：Google Directions API不需要 Maps API 密钥！

Google Directions API是一种使用 HTTP 请求计算多个位置间路线的服务。路线可以采用文本字符串（如“伊利诺斯州芝加哥市”或“澳大利亚新南威尔士达尔文市”）或纬度/经度坐标的形式指定起点、目的地和路标。Google Directions API 可以使用一系列路标传回多段路线.

Google Directions API是一种使用 HTTP 请求计算多个位置间路线的服务。

Google Directions API 的使用受每个IP每天 2,500路线请求的查询限制。单个路线请求可以包含多达8个中间路标。 Google Maps Premier 客户每天最多可以查询 100,000个路线请求，且在每个请求中最多可以使用 23个路标。

此外，在进行网址编码之前，请注意 Directions API 网址长度不得超过 2048个字符。由于某些 Directions 服务网址可能在一条路径中包含多个位置，因此在构建您的网址时请注意此限制。

注意：Google Directions API 只能与 Google Maps 上的显示结果配合使用；下面这种情况是不允许的：使用路线数据而不显示为其请求路线数据的地图。另外，计算路线将会生成必须以某种方式向用户显示的版权和警告。有关允许的用法的完整详细信息，请参见Google Maps API 服务条款许可限制。

第一步，拼写发送http请求的url，不需要注册Key/密钥；

第二步，接收http请求返回的数据（支持json和xml格式）。

地址解析：根据地址获取坐标

URL样例：

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin=22.388412465842766,113.50859642028809&destination=22.372856833227992,113.57305526733398&waypoints=optimize:true&sensor=true&alternatives=true&language=zh-CN&units=metric&region=cn

样例图：

Google Distance Matrix API 是一项服务，用于为起点和终点的矩阵提供行程距离和时间。系统会根据起点和终点之间的推荐路线（由 Google Maps API 计算）返回信息，并且返回的信息由多行配对的duration 和 distance 值组成。

该服务并不会返回详细的路线信息。您可以将所需的一对起点和终点传递至Directions API，以获取路线信息。

Google Distance Matrix API 是一项服务，用于为起点和终点的矩阵提供行程距离和时间，该服务并不会返回详细的路线信息。您可以将所需的一对起点和终点传递至Directions API/详情见1.3 Google Directions API，以获取路线信息。

1.4.3使用限制

每条发送至 Distance Matrix API 的查询可使用的元素数量是有限的，其数量由起点数乘以终点数来定义。

Distance Matrix API 目前具有如下限制：

每条查询可使用的元素数量为：100。
每 10 秒可使用的元素配额为：100。
每 24 小时周期内可使用的元素配额为：2 500。

针对 Google Maps API 专业版客户的限制较为宽松：

每条查询可使用的元素数量为：625。
每 10 秒可使用的元素配额为：1 000。
每 24 小时周期内可使用的元素配额为：100 000。

Maps API 专业版客户可以与自己的 Google Enterprise 销售客户经理联系，以购买更多配额。

在进行网址编码前，Distance Matrix API 网址长度的上限为2048个字符。某些 Distance Matrix API 服务网址可能会涉及多个位置，因此您在构建网址时请注意此限制。

注意：使用 Distance Matrix API 的情况必须与 Google Map 上的信息显示有关；例如，在地图上请求并显示某些终点之前，应先确定起点-终点对彼此间的行程时间是否在特定值的范围内。在不显示 Google Map 的应用程序中，您无法使用该服务。

1.4.4如何使用

第一步，拼写发送http请求的url，不需要申请key/密钥；

第二步，接收http请求返回的数据（支持json和xml格式）。

1.1.5接口示例

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=Vancouver+BC|Seattle&destinations=San+Francisco|Vancouver+BC&mode=bicycling&language=zh-CN&sensor=false

实例讲解：

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=Vancouver+BC|Seattle&destinations=San+Francisco|Victoria+BC&mode=bicycling&language=fr-FR&sensor=false

该请求会返回四个元素 - 两个起点乘以两个终点：

温哥华到旧金山

温哥华到维多利亚

西雅图到旧金山

西雅图到维多利亚

结果会以行的形式返回，每行包含一个起点搭配一个对应的终点。

2 收费标准

2.1:使用各 Maps API 的网站和应用程序如果符合以下条件则无需付费：

每个API每天的地图加载次数不超过 25,000次
每天使用样式化地图功能修改的地图加载次数不超过2,500次

如果您的应用程序超出了这些使用限制，那么您必须通过以下某种方法做出回应才能继续在应用程序中使用 Maps API：

修改 Maps API 应用程序，以便让每天产生的地图加载次数低于应用程序使用的各 API 的使用限制；
启用超限地图加载次数的自动结算功能；或
购买 Maps API Premier 许可

致力于公益事业的非盈利性网站和应用程序（其范围由 Google 自行决定）没有这些使用限制。例如，即使某个救灾地图是由商业实体开发和/或托管的，该地图也不会有使用限制。此外，我们还建议有资格的非盈利性网站和应用程序通过Google Earth Outreach 计划申请 Maps API Premier 许可。此许可能为您带来许多优势，包括停用广告的权利、更高的 Maps API 网络服务配额和技术支持。

我们在此处提供了要计入“地图加载次数”的情况的精确定义。您可以在此处找到有关费用的详情。

2.2:超限地图加载次数的在线购买费用是多少？

在符合 Google Maps API 服务条款相关要求的情况下，地图加载次数低于使用限制的应用程序无需付费即可使用 Maps API。超出使用限制的地图加载次数按以下标准收费：

3 破解方案（供参考）

GoogleMap Geocoding API地址解析受限的解决办法

最近在做GoogleMap地址解析的事情，就是把现有的地址匹配上经纬度，不过无奈的发现Google是有限制的：Google Geocoding API 的使用有限制，即，每天 2,500个地理位置查询请求。（Google Maps API Premier 用户每天最多可执行 100,000 个请求平【每年1W美金】。）强制执行此限制是为了防止滥用和/或重复使用 Google Geocoding API。以后可能对此限制进行更改，而无需另行通知。此外，我们还强制设定了请求速率限制，以防滥用此服务。如果您超过了 24 小时的限制或者滥用此服务，Google Geocoding API 可能会暂停为您服务。如果您继续无视这个限制，将会阻止您对 Google Geocoding API 的访问。

所以就想一些解决办法绕过它，方法一：通过Google自己的GAE做代理，参见一个网上的帖子http://maosuhan.iteye.com/blog/724278，经过半天的尝试，主要是配置GAE的工作，参见http://blog.163.com/redsnow_cc/blog/static/17262058720111142433649/，再加上我自己写的web版的请求googlemap测试程序，发现也是有限制的，返回的结果也是Over_Query_Limit,经过分析，此种方法不行，仔细看了一下帖子是2010年的，两年前的帖子，而且无此种类似的帖子和跟帖，分析是google发现了这个漏洞，修复掉了，所以此后没有人跟进了。

方法二：也是通过代理的方式，但是使用多个代理，每个代理可以访问2500个，那么用100代理就可以返回250000个，用400个代理就可以解决掉100万个了，满足要求了，但是发现网上只有一个这样的帖子，经过分析，这种代理都不稳定，而且实现起来比较复杂，pass。

方法三：通过Windows services实现，每天进行2500个请求，要实现100万个地址的请求，得需要一年的时间，这种办法已经实现了，但是比较难的应用到实际应用中了，如果解析地址的数量比较少还可以，如果超过10万个了，时间久比较长了。

综上所述，最好的方法还是购买，如果数量少就用windows services来实现。

9.1 Free, Public Accessibility to Your Maps API Implementation.

9.1.1 General Rules.

(a) Free Access (No Fees). Your Maps API Implementation must be generally accessible to users without charge and must not require a fee-based subscription or other fee-based restricted access. This rule applies to Your Content and any other content in your Maps API Implementation, whether Your Content or the other content is in existence now or is added later.

(b) Public Access (No Firewall). Your Maps API implementation must not operate (i) only behind a firewall; or (ii) only on an internal network (except during the development and testing phase); or (iii) in a closed community (for example, through invitation-only access).

9.1.2 Exceptions.

(a) Enterprise Agreement with Google. The rules in Section 9.1.1 (Free Access, Public Access) do not apply if you have entered into a separate written agreement with Google (such as aGoogle Enterprise agreement) or obtained Google's written permission.

(b) Mobile Applications. The rule in Section 9.1.1(a) (Free Access) does not apply if your Maps API Implementation is used in a mobile application that is sold for a fee through an online store and is downloadable to a mobile device that can access the online store.

9.1.3 Examples.

(a) You can require users to log in to your Maps API Implementation if you do not require users to pay a fee.

(b) You can charge a fee for your Maps API Implementation if it is an Android application downloadable to mobile devices from the Android Market.

9.2 Reporting. You must implement those reporting mechanisms that Google has set forth and may update from time to time in these Terms and in theMaps APIs Documentation. For example, as specified in the Maps API Documentation, you agree to provide reports to Google if your Maps API Implementation enables a device to detect its own location through use of a sensor (including but not limited to GPS, cell triangulation, WiFi or similar functionality) to display the location of the device on a map or to calculate a route.

9.3 End User Terms and Privacy Policy. If you develop a Maps API Implementation for use by other users, you must:

(a) display to the users of your Maps API Implementation the link to Google's Terms of Use as presented through the Service or described in theMaps APIs Documentation;

(b) explicitly state in your Maps API Implementation's terms of use that, by using your Maps API Implementation, your users are agreeing to be bound by Google's Terms of Use; and

(c) protect the privacy and legal rights of those users.

(i) You must make publicly available, and must abide by, an appropriate privacy policy in your Maps API Implementation. In particular, if your Maps API Implementation enables you or any party to gain access to information about users of the Maps API(s), including but not limited to personally identifiable information (such as user names) or non-personally identifiable usage information (such as location), your privacy policy must describe your use and retention of this information.

(ii) Your privacy policy must notify users that you are using the Maps API(s) and incorporate by reference the Google privacy policy by including a link to the Google privacy policy (currently http://www.google.com/privacy.html), as amended by Google from time to time.

9.4 Attribution.

(a) Content provided to you through the Service may contain the trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features of Google, its partners, or other third party rights holders of content indexed by Google. When Google provides this attribution, you must display it as provided through the Service or as described in the Maps APIs Documentation and may not delete or in any manner alter these trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, domain names, and other distinctive brand features.

(b) You agree to include and display the "powered by Google" attribution (and/or any other attribution(s) required by Google as described in the Maps APIs Documentation) conspicuously on the page, in close proximity and adjacent to the Service search box and Google search results. If you use the standard Google search control, or the standard Google search control form, this attribution will be included automatically, and you agree not to modify or obscure this automatically-generated attribution.

(c) You understand and agree that Google has the sole right and discretion to determine whether your attribution(s) are in compliance with the above requirements.

9.5 Responsibility for Breaches. You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that Google has no responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations under the Terms and for the consequences of any such breach (including any loss or damage that Google may suffer).

10. License Restrictions. Except as expressly permitted under the Terms, or unless you have received prior written authorization from Google (or, as applicable, from the provider of particular Content), Google's licenses above are subject to your adherence to all of the restrictions below.

10.1 Restrictions on How You May Use the Maps API(s). Except as explicitly permitted in Section 8 (Licenses from Google to You) or the Maps APIs Documentation, you must not (nor may you permit anyone else to) do any of the following:

10.1.1. General Restrictions.

(a) No Access to Maps API(s) except through the Service. You must not access or use the Maps API(s) or any Content through any technology or means other than those provided in the Service, or through other explicitly authorized means Google may designate. For example, you must not access map tiles or imagery through interfaces or channels (including undocumented Google interfaces) other than the Maps API(s).

(b) No Hiding of Identity. You must not hide or mask from Google the identity of your Maps API Implementation as it uses the Service, including by failing to follow the identification conventions listed in the Maps APIs Documentation.

(c) No Reverse Engineering. You must not reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Service or any part thereof, unless this is expressly permitted or required by applicable law;

(d) No Modification of Search Results. You must not modify, reorder, augment or manipulate search results in any way unless you indicate to the user that this has occurred.

(e) No Modification of Links. You must not modify, replace, obscure, or otherwise hinder the functioning of links to Google or third party websites provided in the Content. For the avoidance of doubt, titles for place results must link to the applicable URL provided in the result, unless the title is intended to be selected only for purposes of navigation by an end user accessing your Maps API Implementation from a device with appropriately space-constraining user interface options. In these cases, the title linking to the Google-provided URL must be displayed as the top and primary link on the subsequent landing page or user interface component.

(f) No Violation of Google Policies. You must not violate any policies in the Maps APIs Documentation or violate Google's Software Principles (available athttp://www.google.com/intl/en/corporate/software_principles.html or such successor URLs that Google may designate from time to time) and other policies as Google may develop from time to time, including but not limited to the Google policies below, under which you agree not to:

(i) defame, abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as rights of privacy and publicity) of others;

(ii) upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available any inappropriate, defamatory, obscene, or unlawful content;

(iii) upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available any content that infringes any patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right of any party, unless you are the owner of the rights, or have the permission of the owner or other legal justification to use such content;

(iv) upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available messages that promote pyramid schemes, chain letters, or disruptive commercial messages or advertisements;

(v) upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any other content, message, or communication prohibited by applicable law, the Terms or any applicable Service policies or guidelines;

(vi) download any file posted by another that you know, or reasonably should know, cannot legally be distributed in such manner;

(vii) impersonate another person or entity, or falsify or delete any author attributions or labels of the origin or source of Content, or other material;

(viii) restrict or inhibit any other user from using and enjoying the Service or any other Google Services;

(ix) delete, obscure, or fail to display the Terms of Use link as presented through the Service or described in the Maps APIs Documentation;

(x) delete, obscure, or in any manner alter any brand features, logos, warnings, notices (including but not limited to any copyright or other proprietary rights notices), or links that appear in the Service or the Content;

(xi) interfere with or disrupt the Google Services, servers, or networks connected to the Google Services, or disobey any requirements, procedures, policies, or regulations of networks connected to the Google Services;

(xii) use any robot, spider, site search/retrieval application, or other device to retrieve or index any portion of the Google Services or Content or collect information about users for any unauthorized purpose;

(xiii) display content in your Maps API Implementation that falsely expresses or implies that such content is sponsored or endorsed by Google;

(xiv) create user accounts by automated means or under false or fraudulent pretenses, or obtain or attempt to obtain multiple keys for the same URL;

(xv) promote or provide instructional information about illegal activities;

(xvi) promote physical harm or injury against any group or individual; or

(xvii) transmit any malicious code (including but not limited to viruses, worms, defects, and Trojan horses), or any other items of a destructive nature.

(g) No Use of Content without a Google Map. You must not use or display the Content without a corresponding Google map, unless you are explicitly permitted to do so in the Maps APIs Documentation, or through written permission from Google. In any event, you must not use or display the Content on or in conjunction with a non-Google map. For example, you must not use geocodes obtained through the Service in conjunction with a non-Google map. As another example, you must not display Street View imagery alongside a non-Google map, but you may display Street View imagery without a corresponding Google map because the Maps APIs Documentation explicitly permits you to do so.

(h) No Use of Static Maps API(s) outside a Web-Based Application (Except with a Link to Google Maps). You must not use the Static Maps API(s) outside of a web-based application unless:

(i) your platform does not have a web browser; or

(ii) if your platform does have a web browser, you provide a link that shows the location concerned either (x) in the Google Maps native application (if your platform has one); or (y) on the Google Maps website.

(i) No Use Beyond Google's Transaction Limits and Usage Policies. If your Maps API application generates a high volume of transactions, Google reserves the right to set transaction limits, as described in the Documentation here. Google also reserves the right to set other usage policies in the Documentation from time to time. If you want to engage in use outside these transaction limits or usage policies, please contact the Google Maps API for Business sales team for information on licensing options to address your needs.

(j) Geolocation Privacy.

(i) Your Maps API Implementation must notify the user in advance of the type(s) of data that you intend to collect from the user or the user's device. Your Maps API Implementation must not obtain or cache any user's location in any manner except with the user's prior consent. Your Maps API Implementation must let the user revoke the user's consent at any time.

(ii) If your Maps API Implementation provides Google with geolocation data, that geolocation data must not enable Google to identify an individual user. For example, if your Maps API Implementation sends Google Your Content, and Your Content includes geolocation data, Your Content must not also include unique device identifiers associated with individual users.

(iii) If you intend to obtain the user's location and use it with any other data provider's data, you must disclose this fact to the user.

10.1.2 Restrictions against Commercial Use.

(a) No Fees. You must not charge users or any other third party any fee for the use of the Maps API Implementation, the Service, or the Content, except as permitted under Section 9.1.2 (Exceptions).

(b) No Direct Marketing. You must not print more than 5,000 copies of sales collateral materials containing a screenshot of the Content for purposes of commercial sales lead generation ("Direct Marketing") or incorporate the Content as a core part of printed matter (such as printed maps or guide books) that you redistribute for a fee. You must contact theGoogle Maps API for Business sales team to obtain a direct license if you desire to do either of the above.

10.1.3 Restrictions against Data Export or Copying.

(a) No Unauthorized Copying, Modification, Creation of Derivative Works, or Display of the Content. You must not copy, translate, modify, or create a derivative work (including creating or contributing to a database) of, or publicly display any Content or any part thereof except as explicitly permitted under these Terms. For example, the following are prohibited: (i) creating server-side modification of map tiles; (ii) stitching multiple static map images together to display a map that is larger than permitted in the Maps APIs Documentation; (iii) creating mailing lists or telemarketing lists based on the Content; or (iv) exporting, writing, or saving the Content to a third party's location-based platform or service.

(b) No Pre-Fetching, Caching, or Storage of Content. You must not pre-fetch, cache, or store any Content, except that you may store: (i) limited amounts of Content for the purpose of improving the performance of your Maps API Implementation if you do so temporarily, securely, and in a manner that does not permit use of the Content outside of the Service; and (ii) any content identifier or key that the Maps APIs Documentation specifically permits you to store. For example, you must not use the Content to create an independent database of "places" or other local listings information.

(c) No Mass Downloads or Bulk Feeds of Content. You must not use the Service in a manner that gives you or any other person access to mass downloads or bulk feeds of any Content, including but not limited to numerical latitude or longitude coordinates, imagery, visible map data, or places data (including business listings). For example, you are not permitted to offer a batch geocoding service that uses Content contained in the Maps API(s).

10.2 Restrictions on the Types of Applications that You are Permitted to Build with the Maps API(s). Except as explicitly permitted in Section 8 (Licenses from Google to You) or the Maps APIs Documentation, you must not (nor may you permit anyone else to) do any of the following:

(a) No "Wrapping." You must not create or offer a "wrapper" for the Service, unless you obtain Google's written consent to do so. For example, you are not permitted to: (i) use or provide any part of the Service or Content (such as map imagery, geocoding, directions, places, or terrain data) in an API that you offer to others; or (ii) create a Maps API Implementation that reimplements or duplicates Google Maps/Google Earth. For clarity, you are not "re-implementing or duplicating" Google Maps/Google Earth if your Maps API Implementation provides substantial additional features or content beyond Google Maps/Google Earth, and those additional features or content constitute the primary defining characteristic of your Maps API Implementation.

(b) No Business, Residential, or Telephone Listings Services. You must not display any of the business listings Content provided by the Maps API(s) in any Maps API Implementation that has the primary purpose of making available business, residential address, or telephone directory listings.

(c) No Navigation, Autonomous Vehicle Control, or Enterprise Applications. You must not use the Service or Content with any products, systems, or applications for or in connection with any of the following:

(i) real time navigation or route guidance, including but not limited to turn-by-turn route guidance that is synchronized to the position of a user's sensor-enabled device.

(ii) any systems or functions for automatic or autonomous control of vehicle behavior; or

(iii) enterprise dispatch, fleet management, business asset tracking or similar applications. If you want to engage in enterprise dispatch, fleet management, business asset tracking, or similar applications, please contact theGoogle Maps API for Business sales team to obtain a Google enterprise license. (If you are offering a non-enterprise implementation, you may use the Google Maps API(s) to track assets such as cars, buses or other vehicles, as long as your tracking application is made available to the public without charge. For example, you may offer a free, public Maps API Implementation that displays real-time public transit or other transportation status information.)

13.4 NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM GOOGLE, OR THROUGH OR FROM THE SERVICE OR CONTENT, WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE TERMS.

13.5 GOOGLE, ITS LICENSORS, AND THEIR SUPPLIERS FURTHER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
