Google maps and GCA usage

Does this affect Geocaching Australia and it's usage of google maps?

Re: The other kind of 'find'.

What honest chappies you are. If no one collects it do you become the owners? In SA you do if it isn't claimed from the police after 3? months. My son found a remote-control racing dragster once and we handed to the police and when it remained unclaimed he got a phone call from the police to come a...
