I hate to fall into the category of "if she jumped off a bridge would you", but at the same time, sites like aprs.fi and findu are pulling google maps... and those maps have to be coordinated thru a site license right? Obviously displaying little icons on a map is an acceptable use of google maps, so why the problem with pulling the images from xastir with WGET or other utility?
It's a shame that OSM limits to 300 pulls a day.
