So I intend to take measurements, not make maps, using Google maps. Is this still against their policy? If this is still a problem, are there alternatives to google maps that can be used in R or a GIS?
That could be a big grey area. I think you'll have to resolve this between yourself, your conscience, and possibly some lawyers... The OpenStreetMap project have discovered they can use Yahoo Aerial Imagery for tracing, so I assume you can use that but I think the coverage and resolution is not as good as Google's. Barry
