-- Original Message -- From: Dave Lyons [EMAIL PROTECTED] its not yahoo maps but I have something for mapquest I'm doing a real estate site for my realtor and looked at Mapquest for mapping the neighborhood he focuses on. However, the MapQuest TOS are similar to Yahoo's and reproducing the maps on a commercial site go against the TOS. (In my case, the map will be updatable by my client on his admin site, and I'm putting in bold text that they need to verify that the map is not covered by copyright or other restrictions.

Re: OT - Incorporating Yahoo! Maps
-- Original Message -- From: Dave Lyons [EMAIL PROTECTED] im not to sure on that one. Mapquest is very widely used by just about every major real estate association to use in there mappings. It's quite possible they got permission (i.e., paid for permission) to use MapQuest maps on their site. Looking more closely at the site, they have a Maps for your Site feature where for free you can post a link to a Mapquest map (but not display the actual map) or you can pay as little as $4,400 to use their Mapping Solutions for Businesses. http://www.mapquest.com/solutions/main.adp In addition it might be a good idea to check out the terms of service (Legal Notices), particularly the section titled Limitation on Use of Maps, Cartographic Technology and Content Information; Right of Use License at http://www.mapquest.com/about/copyright.adp Scott Scott Brady http://www.scottbrady.net/ ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
Re: OT - Incorporating Yahoo! Maps
I forgot about MapQuest. Mapquest LinkFree gives detailed instructions and no pointers to their tos. Further, they list ''linking restrictions'' which don't mention commercial use. I've used a linkfree link on one commercial client, strictly within their rules and I'm not worried about violating any rules, since they took the trouble to demonstrate their intent and write them down on that screen. And you gotta love that they put the aerial maps back up for public use. One thing you can bet on: Use one of these freebies and you'll have to do it over in a year or so when they change their api, tos or somesuch. --- Matt Robertson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com --- ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
