[Gdal-dev] Method to get a google image by url?

[Garrett Potts]

Hello:

I think it is illegal based on their license terms to even download  
and/or use their image server in your own applications.   They have  
license agreements with their image providers that the data will only  
be used through their tools??  Can't remember,  I get caught up in  
their legalities.


Take care

Garrett
