Hi,
I'm a little unclear if this is the method I should be using to ask
about acceptable use of the tile.openstreetmap.org server, but here goes:
The Adler Planetarium runs a high altitude ballooning program for kids
and when we are out in the field chasing and retrieving the balloon we
need the ability to plot the current location on a locally served map.
I'd like to use the tiles (down to zoom level 15 but no further) for the
regions that the balloon usually travels over. We are a non-profit with
limited resources and this would be a one-time download of something on
the order of 1GB of tiles. It could be done over a period of a week or
two. Does this qualify as acceptable use? Or should I install Mapnik etc.?
Maybe you could use software that displays vector maps? It should be
less data to download than all of the tiles for the area, you could use
planet extracts.
It does depend on what OS and software you are using for tracking etc.
Maybe look at QLandKarte GT or Gosmore, I think they can display vector
maps and do some sort of real-time tracking.
