  Google Maps appears to have Huntsville’s bike lanes now. They look accurate: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Huntsville,+al&sll=37.687624,-122.319717&sspn=0.391234,0.891953&dirflg=b&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Huntsville,+Limestone,+Alabama&z=11&lci=bike

  Are the Maps copyrighted or are they able to be used in the OpenStreetMap under a Creative Commons Share Alike license? I didn’t see a notice on the map itself, just that it was done by Huntsville GIS and USGS National Hydrography dataset. Is that open data?

  I’ve been driving my bike the routes and only adding the ones I’ve used GPS on and the bike racks I’ve taken pictures of, as that is my data I’m sharing cc by-sa with OpenStreetMaps.org, but I’d like to be able to just plug the bicycle routes into OpenStreetMaps if that’s okay legally.

  Same for the Greenway map. I see that the wildlife photos are copyrighted, but what about the map data itself?

  If not, I’ll just keep using my GPS tracks and pictures I take of bike route signs and Bicycle Parking for it.

  I’m asking because you have to license google maps to use them for a lot of things that aren’t a problem at all with OpenStreetMap, plus you can add the data from OpenStreeetMaps to Google maps fairly easily legally, but definitely not the other way around.

  Thanks!

  You can see the little bit I’ve done here the OpenCycleMap which uses OpenStreetMap data.
