Is this from Google Maps or somewhere else? How do you handle the copyrights?

The footer mentions OpenStreetMap.

The OSM licence (the ODbL 1.0[1]) requires this of the attribution:

> You must include a notice associated with > the Produced Work reasonably calculated to make any Person that uses, > views, accesses, interacts with, or is otherwise exposed to the Produced > Work aware that Content was obtained from the Database, ... and that it > is available under this License.

i.e. the notice must be such that regular people using this site will know about this.

There must also be a similar notice on the produced map.

Just wondering what sort of Mapbox account you're using for this? I previously enquired about doing something similar with Mapbox, and was told if you intend to use the images commercially for printing you'd be capped at 2,000 prints and it'd cost you up to $5k annually.

Mapbox use OSM data. You can download it here ( http://planet.openstreetmap.org/ ). If you know how to process it, you can use it any way you want (subject to the liberal OSM licence)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The footer mentions OpenStreetMap.

Generated PNG does not mention OpenStreetMap. It seems that it violates OpenStreetMap requirements laid in http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright/en : "How to credit OpenStreetMap We require that you use the credit “© OpenStreetMap contributors”."

There's also slightly more requirements than that. The credit must be placed so a reasonable user will see it. This is important if you have (say) an app. You cannot just bury the credit deep in the settings screen.

Not to piss on the OP's parade, but, while liberal, the OSM license does require you to to give proper attribution to OSM in such a way than users are likely to notice it - I don't see that here.

Would be nice to get the OP's comments on this?

Just use https://openmaptiles.org/ for a fraction of the cost (512USD) and no restrictions on how you use them commercially.

AFAICS, you do still need to provide attribution to OpenMapTiles?

When panning the zoomed-in circle, the "You are here" sign should also move around the big map (i.e. should stay accurate); doesn't seem to behave so for me.

Also, it would be nice if reordering of items on the list would be possible.

That said, it's obviously an awesome MVP already :)

I love the idea, and I'd be interested in buying with a few tweaks.

- I tried both a high-density (Manhattan) and a low-density (Very small, rural town) location. I had trouble finding a good balance between the zoom level on the large and small maps for both. For the dense location, I'd like the option to remove the smaller map and just have a big map of the immediate neighborhood.

- The numbers for locations across the street from each other overlap and one isn't readable. I cant' choose between suggesting the best brunch nearby and the best chocolate chip cookies in the whole city!

- Landscape mode would be a huge improvement.

- It looks like numbers are assigned to the small or large map without considering the zoom level. When I zoom in on the small map, numbers that move outside the boundaries should show up on the large map, not just dissappear.

- I can't change the section titles. For example, I'd like to change "My Favorite Places" to "Our Favorite Hangouts"

- For the rural location, only the first color option draws the roads correctly in the big map. The other three themes omit the roads!

You are violating licenses. "© Mapbox © OpenStreetMap © Leaflet" is not appropriate. Including a copyright mark for Leaflet suggests that you have no idea why, so make sure you really understand whose data and art you use and how you are allowed to do so.

Having trouble finding this and am curious, if anyone could point it out -
