It is still against their TOS to use the Maps API on a private Intranet or anywhere that isn't freely accessible by the general public. Few people would want to make their Nagios install accessible or would be willing to spend the $$ to purchase Google Maps API Premier (which starts at $10K US I believe). Until that changes, I don't see that Nagios should encourage people to break a TOS by including it, IMHO.
