According to the documentation USAPhotoMaps uses Microsoft's TerraServer for its background mapping, and the T&C say: "Unless otherwise specified, the Services are for your personal and non-commercial use. You may not modify, copy, distribute, transmit, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, software, products or services obtained from the Services." So I'd ask you to be really careful about creating gpx tracks using it. We tend to think of GPS logs as being primary survey evidence, editing them beyond simply removing points breaks that assumption. On the auto-conversion note, it's really easy to create a huge number of nodes that aren't necessary and clutter up the database by auto-converting gps track points and then someone else has to go back and fix it. _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
