Topic: Google maps API and iframes (Page 1 of 1)

I made a script that opens a new iframe on the page using the current map from the original google map in the state you have it when you click. I had to dig a little bit to find the methods to pass the variables onto the new iframe and I'm wondering if I've done anything illegal? I read the agreement and I'm not sure if simply doing a search like this is wrong.
I wrote in the address bar
javascript:for(i in map)document.write(i+":"+map[i]+"<br>")
so I could hope to find how get the zoom portion of settings. the coordinates were pretty obvious with getCenter() so I just needed to find the right function that sends the value. I found it, but i'm afraid to violate the user agreement and face any fines or anything. I have no clue what I'd be in for.

Is there anywhere I can go to find answers about this? Can I use a function available in the script to open a new element using data currently being used and all done client side?

any advice will be priceless.

Why don't you simply use the Google Maps API

Why you gotta hate on my lovely iframes?

I am using that. I had to dig into the code to find the function name to make it work in the iframe. I'm asking if I violated their user agreement by doing so? I can't seem to find an answer to what would constitute a violation of the terms. I don't wanna get sued over a script so i'm trying to find out if I can use it.

here's a picture of it working. it uses the current map and opens it in a new iframe so you can keep looking at the map without having to go back if you want to see something again.
