[OSM-talk-ie] Lack of attribution to OSM by ESRI on Carlow maps

[Dave Corley]

Hi Brian,

Out of curiosity I took a look at Galway County Council and got a nice
surprise at their maps homepage. They have several links and images to
various bits of data and they are using OSM as the main map in those
images.

http://galwaycoco.maps.arcgis.com/home/index.html

However my jaw dropped when I saw the outer bypass map. they have the full
route, lanes, embankments roundabouts etc etc, all overlaid on the OSM map.
Looks great and I was dead chuffed seeing as I drew a large portion of what
they're using :)

Both Galway City & County councils are using the maps.arcgis.com solution
for their maps (its handy for them) but they do it slightly differently
between them. The City Council site is a carbon copy of your Carlow one

http://galwaycity.maps.arcgis.com/apps/PublicGallery/index.html?appid=3853b01e8241421999b9b933265ea4ec&group=fb38dabbbc074c99a251fc18e3f1b97c


I went through a few of maps and did some comparisons. They are basically
the same sites but on Galway City Council one, full attribution is given.
It may be something as simple as a setting they have turned off in error in
the Carlow one as I would assume its on by defult
