MapToPlay Attribution

You are not required to attribute MapToPlay when you publish, share, record, or distribute something created with MapToPlay.

You can credit MapToPlay if you want to. It is appreciated, but it is optional. MapToPlay does not require a logo, link, mention, watermark, or credit line in your exported projects.

Data Provider Attribution

MapToPlay works with external geographic data. That can include digital terrain models, OpenStreetMap vector data, satellite imagery, aerial imagery, preview tile providers, and other source datasets.

If those providers require attribution, license notices, usage limits, or any other condition, you must follow those requirements. This is your responsibility as the person creating, publishing, sharing, or distributing the project or export.

MapToPlay does not own those datasets, does not grant you rights to ignore provider terms, and does not take over attribution responsibility for you. Using a provider through MapToPlay does not remove your obligation to credit that provider correctly.

Where To Find Provider Information

Project V2 exports include a machine-readable `maptoplay.json` file. It records the map center, map size, exporter version, export date, and provider summaries for imported DTM, imagery, and active vector sources. Known providers include their data owner, licence, official terms link, and attribution text.

Use that information as a starting point for attribution. If a provider has more specific requirements than the export can summarize, follow the provider's official terms.
