...which goes on to say: "For a browsable electronic map (e.g. embedded in a
web page or mobile phone application), the credit should typically appear in
the corner of the map, as commonly seen with map APIs/libraries such as
Google Maps."

At present the credit is one click away from this and the licence
information is two clicks away.
