It's in the Apple App Store ( http://itunes.apple.com/app/classicmap/id566173771?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/app/classicmap/id566173771?mt=8 ). I presume that means Apple have looked at it, and approved it, and it won't be yanked in a while for breaking any terms of service,
right?
- tmcw 14y agoNo, it'll get removed; the App Store Approval process is a sham, and this is absolutely breaking the Google Maps TOS.
- gurkendoktor 14y agoIn this case the breach may be very obvious - but Apple's review process is not about compliance with third-party TOS.
- signalsignal 14y agoHi tmcw. Two questions for clarification 1) How is the review process a sham? 2) How is the app breaking Google's TOS?
- mehmeta 14y agoDon't know about no 1 but Google's TOS explicitly forbids the rendering of Google tiles outside a Google application, you can only use them in conjunction with Google's own Maps API.
- tmcw 14y ago1) Because there's very little evidence that malicious applications are successfully filtered (many get in), and much evidence that nitpicky comments keep 'good' applications waiting. 2) https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#tos_tiles https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#tos_tiles
