[talk-au] data.qld.gov.au explicit permission request

Hi everyone, My apologies if this has already been posted but I've just sent off a request to data.qld.gov.au for explicit permission to incorporate and publish their applicable datasets. I've provided them a link to the SA Government response to the same permission request so I hope it is just a

Hi Steve, A similar discussion occurred as recently as Sep 2012 but my review of that suggests no absolute resolution occurred. I'd suggest having a read (you might have already) as its an indicator of the due diligence applied to externally sourced data(sets). http://openstreetmap-australia.2291

Hi folks, I'm at a bit of a loss right now and wonder if any of you have experienced the same issue. For about a week on 2 different machines I have only had access to zoom level 19. I've pretty much run down every google result possible (remove tile cache, remove attribution file et al) and am

Its a bit of a stretch but they could be scaling back high load services (ie. High Res map tiles) to non Bing products to ensure their 3D Maps release runs buttering smooth. http://www.bing.com/blogs/site_blogs/b/search/archive/2013/12/05/maps3d.aspx but in this day and age that'd be an extraordin

Hi Arthur, Interesting. I have had higher zoom levels than Z19 for Brisbane locations (see my earlier comment). The tiles are still not rendering past Z19 for me today though. I've dug a little deeper and in the folder of the screenshot I've just attached you'll see that the 20_xx_xx.tag
