Hello all,

Here's my dilemna... I'm creating a site that will show people certain locations across the nation, info about those locations, where to go, driving directions, yadda yadda...

It is a completely free site, no memberships, I will have a place for people to buy T-shirts, but other than that, there isn't anything to buy. We may have sponsorships, and affiliate requests. I am anticipating a lot of traffic to this site. Now, the problem I run into is this -

Can I use the iframe link in googlemaps - (the my maps section)? This site is an informational site, but many people will be viewing it, and using the information to get to different locations.

We will be a business entity, but again, we won't be selling anything. Just offering a free service.

Do I have to use API in this case? What if I need more than 15000 geocode requests a day?

Any advice in this matter will be greatly appreciated.... If anything, how would I contact the google legal team? I'm finding it very difficult to find answer about these questions.

Thanks for your time in advance!
