Maps for print advertising?
Mark Davis

Hello Mark,
You can use MapInfo Pro to create maps for print advertising. It’s the map data you use that may be subject to copyright clearance.
Regards,

- 100% commercial .eg "You pay us $X and you can do what you like" $X can be a big number.
- Credit us in the output eg put the data suppliers name somewhere prominently in the print and you can do what you like. see Google Maps examples https://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html#maps-print
- If you want to have a swim in the murky depths of OpenStreetMap licensing of data here's the link http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open_Data_License/Use_Cases#Using_OSM_data_in_a_raster_map_for_a_book.2C_newsletter.2C_website.2C_blog_or_similar_work
- Mapinfo's data falls squarely in the 100% commercial. Unless you're using their data to educate yourself or promote their product, any other usage is commercial and subject to fees. eg the Demo stuff supplied in the MI installer.

As always, the devil is in the detail.

That’s rarely the case with commercial data. The link you provided to Google explicitly says no commercial use. A credit does not cover copyright clearance for this type of use.
If you have no budget, open data is the best way forward and, in general, it is a case where you just need to credit appropriately. You can easily consume OpenStreetMap as a tile service into MapInfo Pro.

“They should acknowledge OpenStreetMap either below the image or at the start/end of the document or elsewhere where the viewer/reader would reasonably expect to find it.”
Seems clear to me.
Cheers,

- My read was that if the article you wish to use Google data is digital for advertising its OK with a credit but commercial print is outright prohibited.
Advertising *is* commercial use.
