It will be a commercial system but I doubt that it will be so commercial that I want to pay for online mapping. I have looked at the google maps license and that looks like it is a no-goer as it explicitly says no GPS data. Yahoo says only data that is more than 6 hours old. Microsoft does not seem to have a GPS criterion but they have a 100,000 transaction limit. What I really want is my own system that will render imagery the way open street map does.<br><br><span>I have seen the demos from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.openlayers.org/">http://www.openlayers.org/</a> and they look exactly right. How would I get world scale data?</span><br><br><span><a target="_blank"

I can precreate the tiles too. <br><br>Where can I get free data that would show reasonable coastlines of europe and the US.<br><br><br>Cheers<br><br>Diarmuid<br> </font><div> </div>NOTICE: The information contained in this e-mail message and any attached files may be confidential information.
