Cautions for using API

When implementing a service using the Maps API, the following cautions should be noted:

  • Be careful not to arbitrarily change the names of the features and services provided by Maps. It is necessary to indicate exactly the same as the names guided in this guide (street view, directions, navigation, satellite map, cadastral map, map search, public transportation, real-time traffic, and so on).
    <Example>: if you use Dynamic Map to show "street view", it cannot be changed and indicated as "entrance view" or "road view".
  • Calling the API without going through the official call path is considered as abuse, and the use of the service may be restricted.

Pricing information

Maps is providing service in a pay-as-you-go pricing plan (section pricing plan). For more information on the pricing standard for Maps, see the following page.
