[Edit to add] Yes, you're right. When I compare their map side-by-side the same area in maps.google.com they are clearly different. I should have looked more carefully before asking my question.
So I guess my question should be "If they had the exact same page except using a Google map, would they be in compliance?"

It's not clear to me in what way the "Crime doesn't climb" page violates the quoted terms of use. Would someone please explain it to me?
The Elevation API may only be used in conjunction with
displaying results on a Google map; using elevation data
without displaying a map for which elevation data was
requested is prohibited.
They used the API to display results on a Google map.
Their site used the elevation data to display a map for which elevation data was requested.

I'm not being facetious. It seems to me that their use matches the requirements. So what exactly is the problem?
- bdon 13y agoThe map in question looks like it's actually from Yahoo! Maps: http://maps.yahoo.com/ http://maps.yahoo.com/
- X-Istence 13y agoI don't think so, it says Nokia in the bottom right, along with CartoDB: http://cartodb.com http://cartodb.com
- bdon 13y agoIndeed, it looks like Yahoo! uses Nokia "here" maps as a data source. CartoDB is not a map provider, it's a web-based GIS suite that lets you import different base layers.
