As this will be a website and/or a GPS device, it'd be better to provide lots and lots of links to openstreetmap.org, a link to the "Attribution" page on the wiki, and a full copy of the CC-by-sa license. > > That’s mean it’s for commercial use Yeah, go ahead. > It might be interesting for you to get better Australian data by > submitting (anonymized) tracklogs back to OpenStreetMap. Well, the spirit of the license is that, if intellitrac fixes some road data (conectivity, oneways, roundabouts, names, whatever), it must either: - Push the changes back into OSM's main DB - Publish the changes somewhere so one of OSM's map junkies can clean it up and push the changes into the DB. In short: we're helping you have more complete map data, the only thing we ask for is "please help us have more complete map data". For more information, write to legal-talk. > > 2. how accurate are the maps for Australia? > > Probably as accurate as the rest of the map; if Australia is 'finished' > I cannot tell ;) IIRC from the ITO video for 2008, non-coastal Australia (i.e. anywhere but Sydney) started developing by fall. Most probably we'll be missing lots and lots of villages and secondary roads. However, Sydney is amazingly well mapped (as are most big cities). Anyway, you should download a planet extract for Australia (look at downloads.cloudmade.com) and look for yourself.
