Hello,
I would like to see campgrounds on the map in the US and Canada. But this question could apply to locating anything with a web page.
Is it proper to use locations derived from the business web page to locate them on the map?
And tag the data "source = http://website.com"
In order of increasing suspicion:
- They give their Latitude and Longitude.
- They created a graphic map we match it to yahoo satellite images.
- They show their location on a google, yahoo, etc map.
- The include photo of their business and we find the exact location with google street view.
Thanks,
-Mike - mapping NE Ohio, USA
