    Have a look at paragraph 10.4 d,e.

    No use of Content without a Google map. Unless the Maps APIs Documentation expressly permits you to do so, you will not use the Content in a Maps API Implementation without a corresponding Google map. For example, you may display Street View imagery without a corresponding Google map because the Maps APIs Documentation expressly permits this use.

    No use of Content with a non-Google map. You must not use the Content in a Maps API Implementation that contains a non-Google map
