Data Sources & Licenses

1. About This Page

The routes shown in TabiTimer App (the “App”), including road shapes, point coordinates, and the place names displayed as your current location, are created from the open data listed below. This page explains the sources of that data, the licenses that apply to it, and how to request the route data.

The map background is displayed with Apple MapKit. Notices relating to MapKit are shown by Apple on the map itself.

2. Data Sources

Road shapes and point coordinates (all routes)

© OpenStreetMap contributors. OpenStreetMap data is made available under the Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0. Routes were calculated with BRouter, a routing engine that uses OpenStreetMap data.

Administrative divisions and place names (Around the World)

Country, region, and city names are based on the Divisions data (ODbL) published by the Overture Maps Foundation (overturemaps.org). That data includes the following sources. In every case, the divisions along the route were extracted and modified for display in the App.

• © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0)
• geoBoundaries (www.geoboundaries.org, CC BY 4.0)
• Esri Community Maps contributors (CC BY 4.0)

3. About the ODbL (Open Database License)

The route data in the App that is derived from OpenStreetMap and Overture Maps is treated as a derivative database of databases made available under the ODbL 1.0, and is handled under the terms of the ODbL 1.0.

Anyone may use, modify, and redistribute this route data as long as they follow the ODbL terms, such as giving attribution, sharing under the same license, and keeping license notices intact. The operator does not add any restrictions of its own beyond the ODbL terms.

* This page is a summary. The exact terms are those of each license text.

4. Requesting the Route Data

The ODbL-covered route data included in the App (the route JSON file for each route) is provided free of charge to anyone who requests it. To request it, contact us through the contact page and mention that you would like the route data. All we need is a way to reply to you; no other information is required.

• What is provided: the route data included in the latest version of the App at the time we provide it (JSON format), together with the license and attribution notices that apply to it
• Not normally included: the App's source code, and the scripts and internal files used to generate the routes. To address Section 4.6 of the ODbL (Access to Derivative Databases), our approach is to provide the route data itself, which we treat as the derivative database, in JSON format
• The provided data is subject to the ODbL 1.0 and to the conditions of the sources listed above (such as CC BY 4.0 attribution)

TabiTimer App Contact & Requests (in Japanese)

* The data is provided free of charge, but it may take some time to respond to your request. If you need the route data that was included in an earlier version of the App, please say so and tell us the App version. We will do what we can for the versions we still have.

5. Changes to This Page

This page may be updated when the routes included in the App or the data used for them change. The updated content will be published on this page.
