Is there a usa mapModerator: AndreasM What about Italy?As in title. Do you need some help (sending a complete paper atlas of italian roads, for example)?
Re: What about Italy?An italian map is included in v6,
since a very long time! Just look at our updates/version list on the website! ;^) The problem is not getting such stuff like paper route planners, the problem is the time to include all the towns and streets! But another issue would be the copyright in such cases... Digital data is VERY VERY VERY expensive, so not possible for the quite small Amiga market! But THANKS A LOT for your interest in helping. You could write a private mail... ;^) Thanks......for the informations!
However you really should put a complete list of all the supported countries, maybe with a "checklist table" of the special features provided for each nation (avon, places to see, postcodes, phonecodes...) ![]() And, what's the problem about map copyrights? I think it would be easy to solve by changing colour scheme for each sign (and maybe sticking with the one suggested by international driving standard...they aren't copyrightable in any way, afaik!!) ![]() Re: Thanks...Guys, if there are announcements e.g. for an updated website you
should sometimes really visit it... ;^) There is an updates/version list since a very long time online!!! Direct link: <http://www.amiatlas.de/updlist.htm> All supported countries are listed, even with features! Would be nice if copyright issues are so easy to solve! We were busy with such things for a long time now... Buying digital data would be the only solution to include all needed stuff probably in an almost actual manner. But thats a very long story and not possible for the current Amiga market!!! CopyrightHello everybody,
speaking of copyright. As long as you digitize a paper map on a digiboard (you use a "mouse" to redraw the map manually, so that you get vectorized data on your computer) you donnot vioalate German copyright (neither international copyright as far as I know). You produced an own piece of "Artwork" (Ein eigenes künstlerisches Werk). As soon as you scan this map into your computer in order to do onscreen digitizing (therefor user your screen as a digiboard), you are violating copyright law. A cheap place to get papermaps digitized is India or china. If you want to do digitizing comercially in europe, you have to have real fast and easy to handle digitize software, so that on person can do the work of say 10 Indian Persons... cheers Gerograph |
