Hi Just one more question. What the difference between OpenStreetMap and openlayers??
What I understood is we use openlayers.js as an API And we use openstreetmap maps?? Is it correct.. Please correct me if I am wrong, and please provide me some links for more info if available Regards mohamad -----Original Message----- From: Stefan de Konink [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, April 14, 2009 5:08 PM To: Mohamad Ali Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OSM-dev] using OpenStreetMap api Mohamad Ali wrote: > I am a software developer in Australia, Welcome ;) > 1.We develop a tracking system used for GPS devices, so we display the > vehicles on a map on real time,.. > > My question is : what are the terms and conditions of using ' > OpenStreetMap ' for a tracking system? As long as you mention that the map data you are using as base layer comes from OpenStreetMap, mention it license (Creative Commons, BY-SA) you will be safe. > That's mean it's for commercial use Typically; just give credits and don't violate the creative commons license, that means don't do things like adding DRM to the map data then you will be in violation of the license. The osm-legal list might be a better place to get this answer answered. It might be interesting for you to get better Australian data by submitting (anonymized) tracklogs back to OpenStreetMap. > 2. how accurate are the maps for Australia? Probably as accurate as the rest of the map; if Australia is 'finished' I cannot tell ;) Stefan __________ NOD32 4005 (20090413) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
