[talk-au] ABC article - Google Maps in Eromanga

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Strangely enough, seeing that it mentions Barcaldine, I've just had the OK
from them to use published maps & POI data to update mapping in a few towns
out there:

" Council is happy for you to use the online maps and POI details for
Alpha, Jericho, Barcaldine, Aramac and Muttaburra"

Haven't actually got in to do it yet, but soon!

Barky Council, at least, holds it's own copyright, not through a CC
licence, so that's good enough for us to work with.

I did think of contacting other Councils to ask the same question, but
there are, unfortunately, only 24 hours in a day, a lot of which are tied
up with things not-mapping related! :-(

Thanks

Graeme
