Terms of use and sources

You may create and publish videos with WayFable, including commercially, subject to the map sources’ terms and your rights to your own materials.

Your materials and finished video

Use routes, photos, text and other materials that you have the appropriate rights to use. Do not upload or publish materials that infringe others’ rights or privacy. WayFable does not require its own branding in your video; map source attribution requirements still apply.

What to keep when publishing a video

Keep the source attribution added to the video readable. Click it within the editor’s video frame to move it to one of the four corners. The selected position is saved in the project and used for export. The attribution includes enabled 3D terrain and bathymetry.

Do not cover the attribution with other text or crop it out. If editing affects its visibility, restore readable source attribution on the map. For videos in which the map is the main content, OpenStreetMap guidelines call for attribution in a corner of the map and information in the credits or video description.

Add the following to the publication description or credits: “Map data: © OpenMapTiles · OpenStreetMap — openstreetmap.org/copyright”. The link provides information about the data and the ODbL license. OSM guidelines for videos.

Base map: OpenFreeMap, OpenMapTiles and OpenStreetMap

OpenFreeMap provides the map and permits commercial use. The OpenFreeMap name is optional in the attribution. We retain the OpenMapTiles and OpenStreetMap data attribution.

Data from OpenStreetMap is available under the ODbL license. Publishing a video does not require releasing the entire video under ODbL; source and data license information must be retained.

Satellite map: EOxCloudless

The satellite theme uses the EOX 2016 mosaic (Sentinel data from 2016 and 2017) under CC BY 4.0. Commercial use is also allowed. Keep the source and licence credits in your video; when publishing, add links to EOX and the licence and mention the route overlays in the description. EOX terms. The 2018–2025 mosaics are free only for non-commercial use under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.

3D terrain: Mapterhorn

With 3D terrain enabled, retain the attribution “© Mapterhorn · mapterhorn.com/attribution”. Mapterhorn combines data from multiple institutions under various open licenses, including CC BY. Its list includes the authors and licenses of the sources. It is not a single dataset covered solely by the library’s code license.

Also retain mapterhorn.com/attribution in the description or credits. When using the data beyond a standard video, check the terms of the relevant source datasets.

Bathymetry: GEBCO 2021 and OpenDEM

The depth layer comes from GEBCO 2021, processed by OpenDEM using Natural Earth and served as VersaTiles tiles. We retain the attribution: “Derived product from the GEBCO 2021 Grid, made with NaturalEarth by OpenDEM”.

When publishing a video with bathymetry, add the full source citation to the description or credits: GEBCO Compilation Group (2021) GEBCO 2021 Grid (doi:10.5285/c6612cbe-50b3-0cff-e053-6c86abc09f8f).

GEBCO terms permit commercial use and require source attribution. Do not imply endorsement by GEBCO, IHO or IOC. OpenDEM and VersaTiles provide the derivative product attribution above. Natural Earth does not itself require attribution.
