Aerial View Maps

I want to develop a website which will need to use google maps, how do I do this legally?

I want to develop a website which, while otherwise entirely unique, will need to use google maps style aerial imaging based on an address that the user would type in. IDEALLY, I would just freely tap into Google maps, can this be done legally? Yes, I DO intend on making money on this website. Don't take my question TOO literally. I don't necessarily need to use google maps if Its not the most practical way, if there is another way to tap into the same technology I can go for that too. Without giving too much of my idea away, basically, A user will type an address, the aerial shot of that address with then be incorporated into what will eventually be the purpose of my website. - The purpse doesn't matter too much, My question is: Whats the best and most cost efficient way to tap into this technology so it can be used on my site? EDIT:::: VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION I THINK SOME PEOPLE ARE MISSING::: I intend on making money off of my website. However, the google maps aspect of the site will only acquire the satellite image, the user will then edit the image, my website allows them and gives them the tools to edit the image.

1. Google allow you to. Use their APIs at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/
2. It's legal as long as you don't claim it as your own or attempt to gain profit out of their software. There are a number of websites that already incorporate Google into their information.
