<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br>Im trying not to beat a dead horse... its not dead yet.. ;)<br>Thanks James & Corey as well as Dale for giving a bit more insight.<br><br>Looking at the OSM cycle map, i see that topo information IS there, so thats cool.<br>
Im looking at OpenTopoMap.. and see that it does ask for what attribution to be added. .. So im guessing that GeoBase could be added in there with the source?<br><br>.. As GeoBase also holds satalite imagery.. that got me wondering, as now there is GeoBC... (i read i the paper about how they gave Google Earth the ability to use that.. but i dont know details. <a href="http://aardvark.gov.bc.ca/apps/gga/detailHome.do?action=showGoogleEarthPage">http://aardvark.gov.bc.ca/apps/gga/detailHome.do?action=showGoogleEarthPage</a> > looks like thats a whole lot of info.. not really sure how it relates to GeoBase.. humm.<br>
<br>But more importantly:<br>Now im using Kosmos (its on the main wikiOSM page as the feature) .. and it has the option to view the map with satalite imagery... from Landsat (from Nasa)... so thats wild. ... makes it ALMOST like google earth :). .. <br>
The other option Kosmos gives is to download from OpenArealMap.org .. <br>Which looks very similar to opentopmap. .. <br>My guess is that once it gets bigger it would be added as an option for OSM.<br><br>Noting about how on OSM we are using Yahoo!'s areal maps.. and we need to show the Yahoo! icon at the bottom corner... thats no different than showing the GeoBase logo (or just the text GeoBase.. and thats the attribute that yahoo wanted,.. and got.<br>
<b><br>So .. if we can have Geobase's data for free, as long as we show the attributes... data onto
OpenAerialMap.org and OpenTopoMap.org that could help... as one way
around this delema. ..</b> <br><br>
yep, just checked.. the Ibycus topo's map reference is the same. So the
free OSM Atlas could have that.. its fine to have GeoBase as its
source. (from the books prespective)<br>

<br>and hey, every image, thing always has some kind of relation attached... otherwise how will anyone know where the info came from? .. an entity or company to bug if you see errors or want to see if there is a new image which would be better. <br>
<br>Hopefully this lifts some more rocks.<br><br>Go OpenSource!, it rocks :)<br><br>Sam<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>*****<br>Sam Vekemans' Facebook profile <br><a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Sam_Vekemans/890585120">http://www.facebook.com/people/Sam_Vekemans/890585120</a><br>
