This document lists requirements that are specific to the use of data-driven styling for datasets;
be sure to check the requirements for the
Maps Datasets API, which will
also apply to your use of that service.
Map ID access
Map IDs are unrestricted, and datasets associated with a map ID are not private. Once associated
with a map ID, a map and any associated styles and visualizations created using the
data-driven styling for datasets are publicly available and can be styled by anyone using that map ID.
While the source files for data-driven styling for datasets are not publicly available, don't
create a dataset with data that you don't want to be publicly available.
Don't use data or map styling features in data-driven styling for datasets to misrepresent
country or region borders on Google Maps.
Data attributions
It is your responsibility to comply with any attribution requirements that apply to the data you
share to Google. Any attribution text must not obscure or interfere with the Google logo. For more
information on attributions, see
Add attribution text.
