MappSmith — Selling & licensing

• Can I sell or share the files themselves?

  No. You may not resell or redistribute the files as a template, a file pack or a competing service. Sell the pieces you make.

• Can I sell pieces made from a gallery design?

  Yes. A gallery design is a starting point. Set it to your customer's place and words, and the piece you make is yours to sell like any other.

• Can I sell what I make with MappSmith?

  Yes. The maps you design and the files you download are yours to use and sell as physical products, on a plan or bought by the map.

• Do I need to credit the map data?

  Streets, water, parks and golf courses come from OpenStreetMap under the Open Database License. When you sell a piece, add a short credit such as "Map data (c) OpenStreetMap contributors" on the back of the piece or in your listing. The "Message on the back" field is an easy place for it.

• How do I get help?

  Email mappsmith@makerfoundryco.com. Include the map name and what you were doing, and a screenshot if you can.

• How do I show a customer a proof before I cut?

  Press Proof on the 3D preview to save a large PNG of the assembled piece. For printed pieces, the Print proof view shows the flat print and can save a 300 DPI PNG.

• Is the map data guaranteed to be accurate?

  No. Map data can be incomplete or out of date. Exported files and settings are starting points. Check the place and test on scrap before a production run.

• Where do the elevation and depth come from?

  Elevation comes from Copernicus DEM data. Lake depths come from public lake surveys. Lakes with no survey can be modelled from their shoreline, and the Studio marks those as Estimated or Simulated.
