Re: [talk-au] Question about source of low-resolution NearMap images

I haven't used the detailed NearMap aerial photos, but what I have used is a low-quality image at zoom 13 and 14. I used these images for the Kiewa River in northern Victoria (this was before the detailed imagery for northern Victoria was put in, and most of the river is still outside the high-resolution images), and for an airstrip on Flinders Island. Are these low-resolution images public domain (in which case I can accept the new OSM terms), or are they copyrighted (in which case I will need to replace this data with Yahoo or Bing data prior to accepting)? (Bing imagery is much better, so the river will probably need to be retraced anyway.) Nearmap aside, there is plenty of other sources that are also cc-by or cc-by-sa like the data from the ABS or the data from data.australia.gov.au etc. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I uploaded the dataset I think you're referring to, after discussing tagging on talk-au. From: M∡rtin Koppenhoefer dieterdre...@gmail.com 3. The most universal feature is IMHO this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:boundary%3Dprotected_area allowing for cultural, natural and other protection types. A problem might arise if a feature is at the same time protected for different reasons. That sort of what I used, though it's changed a bit since then. There's also problem of marking it boundary=protected_area and boundary=national_park at the same time. Some examples: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/46152942 (Fraser Island) http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/361693 (Gondwana Rainforests) At the time I don't think I knew about protect_id, but I used that later on National Parks. -- James ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
