<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Dear All,<br><br></div>I am a beginner to mapping. I want to know what kind of maps can be published online ? For instance can we publish a map of India based on a shapefile by ANY source or are only specific shapefiles to be published. <br>
<br></div>A user on a chat room was kind enough to tell me that we can publish any map of India as long as there is a disclaimer that the map is inaccurate. Is that correct ? May I ask what is the exact language of this disclaimer ? <br>
<br></div><div>Also what about maps of the world / other countries ? What are the challenges in publishing them ? Some websites also say that we can use their data as long as we don't make a misleading impression with that data. Can someone say a few words about this ? <br>
</div><div><br></div>I guess there must be a nice webpage with this info but my hit and trial with google was not very successful. What are the keywords that I can type in to search for this ? <br><br> <br></div>Many thanks,<br>
