Sebastian,
The Yahoo! Geocoder terms of service state that the results from the
geocoder can only be displayed on top of a Yahoo! Map. (THe Google
Geocoder has the same set of terms.)
Specifically:
You shall not:
(ix) use the stand-alone geocoder for any use other than displaying
Yahoo! Maps or displaying points on Yahoo! Maps;
http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/maps/mapsapi/mapsapi-2141.html
(1.f.x)
Does the Yahoo Geocoder control ensure that the results are being
plotted on a Yahoo! Map in some way? Barring that, I'm hesitant to do
something which seems to cleary violate the Yahoo! API terms of use,
unless I"m misunderstanding something...
Regards,
