Licensing Google Maps

Spectrum Spatial Analyst lets you analyze your proprietary data along with data from Google Map API’s Products and Services, which are subject to terms of use and licensing.

Spectrum Spatial Analyst lets you analyze your proprietary data along with data from other sources, such as Bing Maps and Google Maps. Bing Maps include the licensing needed to use Bing Maps within Spectrum Spatial Analyst. We do not currently provide Google Maps licensing to our clients and their end consumers.

Any implementation of the Google Map API’s Products and Services that are not freely and publicly accessible, as per Section 9.1 of the Google Maps/Google Earth APIs Terms of Service, require a Google Maps Premium Plan Licensing and are subject to the Google Maps for Work Premium Plan Terms seen here:

Freely and publicly available Google Map API’s Products and Services implementation can use Standards Plan Licensing and are subject to the Google Maps/Google Earth APIs Terms of Service, which include advertising rights to Google (Section 4.3) https://developers.google.com/maps/terms A detailed description of what's acceptable and what's included with each Plan (Standard and Premium) can be seen on the Pricing and Plans Page here:

Please proceed in securing the correct licensing for your application. Premium Plan licensing costs are correlated with volume/run rate requirements. Please press the Contacts Sales Button at https://developers.google.com/maps/pricing-and-plans/ to determine the exact cost of licensing for your organization for continued use of the Google Maps API.

Should your use case support Standard Plan licensing (freely and publicly available) and your organization have no concerns with Google’s Privacy Policy & Advertising rights (Section 1.2 and 4.3 respectively), then usage limits will apply. Usage limits for the Standard Plan are subject to the limits on the pricing page, a cost calculator for Standard Plan is also included on that page here:

Note that the Analyst Admin Console supports entry of both a Google API key and/or a Google Client ID when enabling Google Maps support. Premium plan customers will either receive a Google client ID or can use an API Key. Standard plan customers must use a Google API key. Details can be found here:
