I have not been involved in that, but this is what I believe. Yahoo checked our usage and said (from memory, no guarantee): "As long as you use the web API (ie access the tiles from within a browser, deriving vector data is ok from those tiles." I would be *very surprised* if converting,scaling and cropping were tolerable by Yahoo. Indeed, I am pretty much sure it would not be OK. spaetz _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
