Exactly as Ian's said. We have permission to use Vicmap CC BY data, you can search on https://www.data.vic.gov.au/. It looks like a few state forest and public land data is available. On Mon, 18 Oct 2021, 12:08 pm Little Maps, wrote: > Hi all, can I offer a different spin on this - interested

Wow, thank you, Ian, that makes these particular circumstances absolutely crystal-clear. Well-stated and paints a bright light forward. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Re: [talk-au] Source material.

Hi all, can I offer a different spin on this - interested to hear feedback. I think the question of whether we have permission to use MapShare is inappropriate. (And hence the original changeset comment is inaccurate). MapShare is just a data portal. We have permission to use a number of Vic

Re: [talk-au] Source material.

That's what I'd say about starting up using JOSM again, Andrew: "start small." If you've already got it up and running (proper Java runtime environment installed, a good command-line to start it, if that's how you do it...), yes, it can be intimidating: like piloting a jet plane or an

Hi Andrew Speaking as another relatively inexperienced editor, don't be too disheartened. "I used MapShareVic" It takes a bit of getting used to but OSM is very fussy about allowable sources. There are good arguments for why. It can be frustrating when you have a perfectly good source
