The Flip Side of Google Maps

• Free-as-in-Beer, not as-in-Freedom (gratis, not libre)
• No right to reuse or redistribute imagery
• No way to style the base maps
• Try making detailed statistical (e.g. choropleth) maps
• Can advertising pay for expensive commercial satellite imagery?
• Will Google / Y! / MSN try to put ads on the maps themselves?
• Can't cover every use case
