The imagery over Edinburgh should be good enough for tracing. Metadata still<br>needs collecting .. the street names and road restrictions/types.<br><br>There's been discussion on the list of using the imagery more as a guide .. so that
<br>pre-acquisition, tracings are made, and printed out. Then on the streets, use GPS<br>to quickly verify and fill in any gaps, make corrections.<br><br>-Mikel<br><br>----- Original Message ----<br>From: Minty <<a href="mailto:mintywalker@gmail.com">

<br><br>Just started doing some gps plotting, tracing & labelling for<br>Edinburgh:) Some questions arose, which I couldn't find an answer for<br>and we are most curious about:<br><br>re: <a href="http://www.opengeodata.org/?p=120">
http://www.opengeodata.org/?p=120</a><br><br>I assume the sat images are copyright? So why is it okay to trace<br>from them? Is there anything you can point me at that discusses the<br>issues for a newbie related to "Theres code in there which updates the
<br>relevant image copyrights which we must respect, along of course with<br>Yahoos.".<br><br>Does this mean I don't need to bother taking my GPS around Edinburgh?<br>The sat images look good enough for tracing.<br><br>
Also - where did the copyright free coastal outlines come from for the<br>UK? Was this out of copyright data, or some US/NASA based data<br>source, or something else entirely?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Murray.<br><br>_______________________________________________
