1. Map data
TOVR's maps are produced from OpenStreetMap data.
© OpenStreetMap contributors. The data is available under the Open Database License (ODbL) v1.0: https://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright
OpenStreetMap is built by volunteers and made freely available. We host our own copy of it rather than buying map services per request, and this notice is the condition under which we are permitted to do so.

2. Basemap tiles
The visual map — coastlines, roads, place names — is generated from the Protomaps basemap, which is itself produced from OpenStreetMap data and Natural Earth.
Protomaps basemap cartography: BSD 3-Clause, © Protomaps LLC and Kelso Cartography.
Natural Earth: public domain.
The tiles are served from infrastructure we operate ourselves.

3. Map rendering
Maps are drawn in your browser by MapLibre GL JS.

4. Routing and distances
Road distances, driving times and route geometry for heavy goods vehicles are computed by Valhalla, running on our own hardware.

Routing results are derived from the OpenStreetMap data credited above.

5. Address search
Converting addresses to coordinates, and coordinates back to addresses, is performed by Photon, running on our own hardware.
