Google retains the right to put advertising... by amembleton · 2005-06-30 05:48 · Score: 4, Insightful

Google retains the right to put advertising on the map in the future.

That is intersting. Perhaps they will add advertising for cerain locations. They might add a starbucks logo over each of their coffee shops on the map. It would be a good way to pay for it and thus keep it free for developers.
