Or something like that - calling them is probably the best idea!<BR/><BR/>I'll be interested to find out what they say...<BR/><BR/>MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-23328345985533618972007-12-13T19:16:00.000+00:002007-12-13T19:16:00.000+00:00Hi MarkGood spotting there Sir!I have taken a walk...Hi Mark<BR/><BR/>Good spotting there Sir!<BR/><BR/>I have taken a walk around their site and read it all through - and still I am not much the wiser, (being a bit of a non-techie chap) - It appears as though the O.S. are finally relenting and are letting non commercial, not for profit outfits (me?) have use of their data for their websites.<BR/><BR/>I am not sure how this is done and whether or not it will work on a blog and how much info I can display on my blog if I am allowed to use it - they talk of 'tiles' which means bugger all to me, a non technical chap.<BR/><BR/>It also appears that they are limiting use at the moment to 'developers' whatever that may mean (Why do they speak in tongues?)<BR/><BR/>However, I will get to the bottom of it and work it out either by boring them to death by emailing them questions ad infinitum or talking to them on the phone to see what on earth they are talking about in layman's terms!<BR/><BR/>Does this mean, for instance that I can publish my digital Anquet maps on my blog?<BR/><BR/>No idea at the moment but I shall find out!<BR/><BR/>Many thanks Mark - you are a shiny star!<BR/><BR/>AlanAlan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-14672459353919221102007-12-13T18:00:00.000+00:002007-12-13T18:00:00.000+00:00Hi Alan.Don't know if you've seen this?http://blog...Hi Alan.<BR/><BR/>Don't know if you've seen this?<BR/><BR/>http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/12/13/finally_ordnance_survey_lets_people_do_mashups_with_its_maps.html<BR/><BR/>Looks interesting...<BR/><BR/>MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-92203405768450094582007-11-30T19:50:00.000+00:002007-11-30T19:50:00.000+00:00positive progress Alan even if there's little tang...positive progress Alan even if there's little tangible benefit to you as yet.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the crusadeJohn Heehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01333628949466601415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-29020847046802196302007-11-29T20:28:00.000+00:002007-11-29T20:28:00.000+00:00...I believe that we have a decent man here workin...<I>...I believe that we have a decent man here working for an incredibly good organisation...</I><BR/><BR/>I don't doubt that they have <I>some</I> decent frontmen, and they certainly have excellent technical people working at the coal face, but be not deceived... let's not forget that these are the people who threatened one webmaster with legal action and closure of his site for displaying a <B>hand-drawn</B> sketch map, claiming it was based on their data.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-29022416006191630222007-11-29T18:36:00.000+00:002007-11-29T18:36:00.000+00:00Keep going Alan, you're doing us all a favour.
