The tool is presumably useful outside OSM!
Well even so, it would probably be against the terms of use etc from Google, and they can ask for it to be taken down, so whilst it may be useful, it cannot be used... That saying, whilst it would apply to Google, it wouldn't be for everything. The tool could be used for other tiled layers - something of much greater use. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
