Hi All,

I'm new to this list so please forgive me for any newbie errors!

Anyway, reason for the post is that I've been playing around with Google maps a
lot, originally with plotting points, then plotting lines. So, I decided to try
and do something a bit larger and more difficult & decided to plot out the
boundaries of my borough using publicly available borough boundary information.
I used this web page ( http://mapki.com/index.php?title=Get_Lon_Lat )to report
lat/longs for each point I needed, which I then built up into a complete
borough boundary for Wandsworth:
http://217.155.146.189/wandsworth/

So, I guess the big question is, is this legal and is it of any use. I saw a
previous discussion about derived works which made me wonder. I used google
maps to report individual lat/long points as I mention, as I don't have time to
go round in a car to collect them (plus a lot of places would be
difficult/dangerous to reach. Details on the points can be viewed using View ->
Source.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Cheers

Mike
