Hi Morten, I agree, it'd be really nice to have that, but you're right to think the licence is too prohibitive. The map tiles are produced by Samsýn and they're quite strict on what we can do with them. Besides that, the tiles are projected using ISN 93, so using them as an OpenStreetMap layer would cause alignment problems. But I can think of some ways Já could help OpenStreetMap. First, I could ask for Já to give OpenStreetMap explicit permission to use the Já 360 street view photos as a data source. Second, we have GPS coordinates from the car that drove around the country taking the Já 360 photos; I could ask to be able to publish the GPS data under a permissive licence. If any of that sounds useful, let me know.
