 #### I want to use Google Maps API tiles with Leaflet, can I do that?

+The problem with Google is that its [Terms of Use](https://developers.google.com/maps/terms) forbid any means of tile access other than through the Google Maps API.
 
 You can add the Google Maps API as a Leaflet layer with a [plugin](https://github.com/shramov/leaflet-plugins). But note that the map experience will not be perfect, because Leaflet will just act as a proxy to the Google Maps JS engine, so you won't get all the performance and usability benefits of using Leaflet when the Google layer is on.
