Hi all, Mike from TMR got in touch with me this morning reversing his statement about using tourist route information on local council maps, see below. I haven't used them to add anything to OSM anyway.
"Hi Wil, Unfortunately your posting on Open Street Map has caused me some grief! It seems I was not correct in thinking that the maps I provided as reference material in PDF form can be freely used. Those on my GIS section with a greater understanding of copyright matters have decreed that copyright does actually exists over this information and therefore it cannot be made available to Open Street Maps. <name>, one of my GIS associates, can provide more information on copyright matters pertaining to this data if you wish to discuss possibilities but it seems likely that it will not be possible to use this data in the way you envisaged in the short term at least. You can reach <name> on <number>. My apologies for the confusion, but would you please update your posting to withdraw the expectation that the route marking information I provided can be made available to Open Street Map Kind regards, * Mike"* ** **
