Your use must be purely non-commercial. You can not make any money off the maps or your project. Examples: wedding or birthday invitations, flyers for a free event, etc.
You may print up to 15,000 copies in a year. Each map = 1 copy. Each print run – 1 copy. So 3 maps x 2 print runs x 500 items per print run = 3,000 copies.
Non-Profit Specific Printing Requirements
You must be a non-profit organization and your use must benefit the non-profit organization.
You may crop a map but you can not alter, blur, delete, add to or otherwise distort or modify any portion of the maps. The use must reflect how the map or image actually looks online.
You must comply with the Attributions Requirements at all times.
