Geocoding TOS issues

[Charles Sporkman]

Hello,

We're about to embark on an update to our store locator (need to move from v2 to v3).

We currently use the geocoding api every few months to map street addresses to lat/long and then store that in a db.  When a user makes a query, we use this stored data to determine what locations are near the address the user entered.

Is this an acceptable use under the v3 API terms?  It was under v2.

Only if you then use that data on a Google Map

The v3 'Articles' pages contains examples and how-to guides for doing
just this written by Google employees, just as v2 did, so it would
seem to be approved
