Data sources & attributions

Where this stuff comes from

The Truckster doesn’t make maps. Other people do, and we owe them the credit. This page lists every data source, image library, and platform we use — what’s already powering the planner, and what’s coming as we expand the stop database to 5,000+ locations before launch.

About OpenStreetMap data

When stops in the Griswold planner are derived from OpenStreetMap, we tag them with a source: “osm”field in our database to honor the Open Database License (ODbL) share-alike requirement. If you’d like the OSM-derived subset of our stop data for your own project under ODbL, email steve@pixievacations.com.

All map tiles you see on the planner are © OpenStreetMap contributors and rendered by Mapbox.

We try to credit every source we lean on. If we missed yours, drop a line to steve@pixievacations.com and we’ll fix it within a business day.
