To keep it short:

Thank you for your interest in Google. We have reviewed your request to use Google Earth images. Google Earth images always require the Google Logo be displayed and cannot be altered in any way. If your map is an altered image, we cannot approve this use.


I guess I can't sell, or distribute the map in any way. Sucks really. So now I work on other avenues to work with this map and/or create anew.

Questions/thoughts/ideas always welcome...
