Effective **8 July 2025** , new **EEA-specific Google Maps Platform Terms of Service
(EEA terms)** will impact how you build applications and experiences for users if your project
is linked to an EEA billing account.

We strongly recommend that you read and understand the
[announcement](https://developers.google.com/maps/comms/eea/faq.md.txt), as the details potentially impact your
existing and new applications that integrate Google Maps Platform.

This document describes **usage and Google Maps Platform functionality changes** for the
**iOS Geocoder within Dynamic Maps iOS SDK**.

The information described in this document reflects the
[EEA terms
governing your use of Google Maps Platform Services](https://cloud.google.com/terms/maps-platform/eea) as of 8 July 2025,
which may change over time. For the most recent and binding terms applicable to you,
see your Google Maps Platform Agreement with Google.

## iOS Geocoder within Dynamic Maps iOS SDK adjustments for EEA customers

These adjustments apply to (a) projects created after 8 July 2025 that
are linked to an account with an EEA billing address,
and/or to (b) projects that are no longer in the
[Unmodified State](https://developers.google.com/maps/comms/eea/faq.md.txt#material-modification)
after 8 July 2025.

The following table summarizes the adjustments, delineated in the
[EEA
Service Specific Terms](https://cloud.google.com/terms/maps-platform/eea/maps-service-terms), for each Google Maps Platform service.

| iOS Geocoder within Dynamic Maps iOS SDK Functionality Adjustments | Terms of Service Changes |
|---|---|
| None | *No Use With any Map*. Customer may not use (in whole or in part) any addresses from the iOS Geocoder within the Map SDK for iOS With any Map. |

## Examples of "With any Map" and "without a map"

The EEA terms changes affect how you use Google Maps Content from this service
"With any Map." "With any Map" means to display Google Maps Content on, next to,
or in a manner that is visually associated with any map, including a Google map,
or to link Google Maps Content to any map or link any map to Google Maps Content
(unless the specific map being linked to is the source of the applicable Google Maps
Content).

For clarity, you may continue to link to the Google Maps Content source links provided
by the Service (for example, [`googleMapsLinks`](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/place-details.md.txt#required-parameters)
in the Places API).

The following examples are illustrations of what "With any Map" and "without a map"
can look like, to help you comply with the terms of your Agreement. The examples are not
comprehensive. Ultimately, you are responsible for complying with the terms of your
Agreement.

## Alternative integrations

If you use the iOS Geocoder to display addresses on or next to a map,
you must change your integration. You may use Places UI Kit to
support your application.


### Places UI Kit

Google Maps Platform includes Places UI Kit, which lets you build integrations to help
your users visualize Places content with any map, or without any map.
The [Places API
Permitted Uses](https://cloud.google.com/terms/maps-platform/eea-places-api-permitted-uses) restrictions don't apply to the Places UI Kit.

For example, Places UI Kit lets you display Place Details on a map or render a
List of Places from a search next to a map, as illustrated in the following image.
![A list of places next to
a map. One marker is selected, and its details are shown on the map.](https://developers.google.com/static/maps/comms/eea/images/uikit-with-places.png)

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Places UI Kit elements for Place Details, Place Autocomplete, and Place Search will be generally available in mid-July 2025.

Use the following resources to help you build with Places UI Kit:

### Road safety


EEA customers may now use Google Maps Platform Services, where suitable, in
embedded vehicle systems. They may also use Google Maps Platform Services,
where suitable, for real-time navigation with a third-party map, as long as that
real-time navigation usage complies with Google's safety requirements.


Due to road safety risks that can arise under these new terms, Google now
requires that developers adhere to
[safety
requirements](https://cloud.google.com/terms/maps-platform/eea-safety-requirements) in order to, for example, limit the risks of mismatched roads.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Use of Google Maps Platform Services in embedded vehicle systems in the EEA occurs at each Customer's own discretion, and the Customer is responsible for compliance with any applicable laws, regulations, industry standards, or other requirements.
