JPG/PNG of Google map instead of iframe - allowed?

Google maps iframe take up 500kb of load and nearly 100 queries.

I remember years back Google said screenshots were not allowed. Then they said yes so long as the Google copyright writing at the bottom remained. Then they went off on the API thing. Then they started charging for the API.

So Question: What is the current SEO/Penalty for using screen shots of maps instead of and iframe or using the API?

Secondly, if it is allowed. How would you handle the SEO of the screen shot? eg. "Map of my street - google maps" or "map of my street". I notice no screen shots are in Google images for maps.

Ideas and knowledge appreciated!
