使用AutocompleteService而非Autocomplete构建地址下拉列表是否需标注Powered by Google？

Great question! Let’s break down the requirements clearly based on Google’s Maps Platform policies:

• When using AutocompleteService directly: Yes, you are required to include the "Powered by Google" attribution alongside your custom autocomplete dropdown results. Even though you’re building the UI from scratch instead of using the pre-built Autocomplete component, you’re still consuming data from Google’s Places/Geocoding API—this mandates proper attribution to comply with their terms of service.

• If your page already includes a Google Map: You can safely omit the "Powered by Google" label from the autocomplete dropdown. The existing map instance’s built-in attribution (which is automatically included in standard Google Maps implementations) covers the attribution requirement for all Google Maps Platform services used on that page, including results from AutocompleteService.

A quick reminder: Any attribution you do display must be clearly visible (not hidden, obscured, or rendered in an overly small font) to meet compliance standards.
