[talk-au] Uncredited use of OSM map

[Phil Wyatt]

I have sent an appropriate message to the agency and the appropriate Government Minister and requested an update to the website and map with the correct attribution.

 

Cheers - Phil

Hi all,

 

The map rendering used by the Tasmanian Government in a recent announcement about a new prison site in Northern Tasmania looked familiar..

https://www.justice.tas.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0004/571540/Northern-Regional-Prison-map.pdf

 

Compared to OSM, there are some features missing, some other features are rendered differently.  It could well be a different site/source with similar rendering:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/-41.5123/146.7475  

 

(Screenshots of both: https://imgur.com/a/7EE2GXV)

 

Just sharing for interest's sake - not sure if it is worth following up on, or making a big deal about?

 

Regards,

Charles
