[talk-au] vicmap data licensing

[Nick Hocking]

Hi Li

Does the vicmap[ data include road geometry and road names. If so then a
really usefull thing to do would be to create an imagery layer from this
data that could be used in JOSM.
This is what is done in the USA with each year's TIGER data.

Then we could use the Bing imagery the vicmap layer and existing data to
fill in all the unnamed streets/roads and include any new ones or ones that
have not yet been surveyed or traced. It would only be a matter of months
and all of Victoria's roads would be completely up to date.

Curerently, I'm spending hours each day using the TIGER data and Bing
imagery in helping to fix up the horrible original TIGER data but would
love to be helping in fixing up Australia.
