[Marble-devel] Printed directions footer line

[Dennis Nienhüser]

Hi,

while working on the printing of driving instructions, I'm wondering 
whether we should include a footer line (I think yes) and what to state 
there. I think a reference to the data's license should be there, e.g.

"OpenRouteService data can be used freely under the terms of the 
Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license 
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenStreetMap_License>."

Popular map services also state some warnings (see below for examples). 
Advising users to do reality checks (Yahoo) sounds silly to me, but 
warning of differences to the plan because of e.g. traffic makes sense.

A more complete footer line for Marble may look like this then:

"The driving instructions may be incomplete or inaccurate. Construction 
projects, traffic and other circumstances can cause differences. Driving 
instructions were generated by OpenRouteService and can be used freely 
under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 
license <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenStreetMap_License>. 
The Marble development team wishes a pleasant and safe journey.

Sounds a bit clunky. Suggestions? :-)

Regards,
Dennis

When using any driving directions or map, it's a good idea to do a 
reality check and make sure the road still exists, watch out for 
construction, and follow all traffic safety precautions. This is only to 
be used as an aid in planning.
