商业（付费）iPhone应用程序是否必须向Google for Maps支付许可证？ [英] Do commercial (paid) iPhone apps have to pay a license to Google for Maps?

问题描述

我知道这发生在商业网站上，所以我想知道使用MapKit的商业iPhone应用程序（尤其是那些产生大量流量的应用程序）是否也需要从Google Maps获得任何类型的许可证。

我最好的猜测是否定的，但只是为了防止有人知道更好。另外，我猜Google会从移动运营商处获得许可费，因为一些运营商会为地图和导航收取额外费用。 看看Google的服务条款，看起来您不需要向Google支付Google商业应用程序使用MapKit的费用。

但是，有一些重要的限制，例如您无法单独使用地图来收取用户费用（最有可能意味着如果你的应用程序只是一个定位器应用程序，你不能对它收费）。

I know that happens with commercial websites so I was wondering if commercial iPhone apps that use the MapKit (especially those that generate a lot of traffic) need to get any sort of license from Google Maps as well.

My best guess would be no, but just asking in case someone knows better. Also, I would guess Google gets license fees from mobile carriers, since some carriers charge extra for "maps and navigation".

解决方案

Looking at Google's Terms of Services, it does not look like you have to pay Google for the use of MapKit with Commercial applications.

However, there are important restrictions such as you cannot charge a user for solely the use of a map (which most likely means if your app is just a locator application, you cannot charge for it).
