Possibly. I haven't studied their terms in detail because I haven't
run into a situation where I would violate them. But, yes, one should
do their own due diligence on what is allowed and what is not.

Anyway, the original thread is on how to make maps and data available
without Internet access. I hope the OP now has enough information to
know this is possible and relatively not-that-difficult.
