Interesting. Just been checking out suburban intersections in Canberra using GSV and while you can often find the signpost, you can rarely read the street names on them. Sometimes on a narrow street T- intersection, if the car was on the left hand side of the road, close to the sign, you can just make out the letters.
[ Also interesting, the blue GSV route overlays are sometimes quite inaccurate WRT the air photos. Check out Academy Close in Campbell and the Russell offices at the end of Northcott Drive - in both cases the road goes through buildings. It is not just a matter of registration and misalignment - the shape is wrong. Note also in this area the street view map and the street map are out of alignment by 5 or 6 m or more. Easter eggery or simple shoddiness? ] Why would the copyright and associated fair use provisions of the GSV be any different to the rest of Google maps and other Google offerings? Whether you decide to use GSV as base data, or third party confirmation, the above examples show you really need to check and confirm everything independently. jim On Fri, Sep 12, 2008 at 2:23 AM, James Andrewartha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > - which reminds > me, what are the legalities of getting names from street view? -- _________________ Jim Croft [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Words, as is well known, are the great foes of reality." - Joseph Conrad, author (1857-1924) _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
