Data sources & credits

Base maps are rendered using tile services from Stadia Maps and CARTO, both of which build on OpenStreetMap data. © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database License (ODbL).

The “Import places” tool pulls candidate pins from four open sources. The original source is recorded on each pin and shown in the “Sources” block at the bottom of the pin page.

• OpenStreetMap — geometry, names and tags via the Overpass API. Licensed under ODbL. © OpenStreetMap contributors.
• Wikidata — coordinates and instance metadata via the SPARQL service. Licensed under CC0.
• Wikipedia — summaries and thumbnails via the MediaWiki REST API. Licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
• Wikivoyage — listing entries from the MediaWiki API. Licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
• UNESCO World Heritage — site identifiers via Wikidata. © UNESCO, sourced indirectly via Wikidata (CC0).

Photos attached to imported pins come from Wikimedia Commons via the Wikipedia thumbnail API. Individual photos retain their own author and license (typically CC BY-SA or CC BY); follow the Wikipedia link in the pin's “Sources” block to find the photographer and exact terms.

Photos uploaded by TravPad users are licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 unless stated otherwise — see the next section.

All text, photos and lists submitted by TravPad users are licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0. That means anyone (including TravPad and other projects) may reuse the content as long as the contributor is credited and derivative works carry the same license.

Pin attribution shows the contributor's display name. If you don't want your name shown publicly, change your display name from your profile before contributing.

Wikipedia summaries in languages other than English are passed through MyMemory machine translation. The translated text is best-effort; the link in the “Sources” block points to the original article in its source language.

Found a wrong entry, a missing attribution, or a copyright concern? Email hello@travpad.app with the pin's URL and we'll act within a week.

Errors in the underlying data are usually best fixed at the source: edit the place on OpenStreetMap or Wikidata and the next import will pick up the change.
