But you're right--that's something to look out for. Google's geocoder web service is that way. Even though you are receiving data server-side, it requires you to display the result on a map.

Most of the data that map providers like MapQuest and Google provide is usable only in conjunction with their maps. Even if they give the data to you in a format that is easy to use without the map you may not actually be able to use that data outside of displaying it with a map from the same service. Services like Waze will probably not have these same limitations on their data. If you use this service you should pay attention to any fine print in the service agreement.
