<div dir="ltr"><div>I have been in touch with google. As long as you use their official API and have a business license, it is allowed. Personaly I would prefer that the "solution provider" that created this solution for the company I work at simply used the company layers; but unfortunately they didn't. Besides that, they use the developer way to run mapproxy, making me wonder even more if they know what they are doing. But hey, I want to keep my passengers happy so I thought, let's see what is possible...<br>
<br></div>Tomorrow I will re-contact google to get a formal statement on if they allow caching at all..<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/10/30 Paul Norman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:penorman@mac.com" target="_blank">penorman@mac.com</a>></span><br>
