Private Maps for iOS – Minimalist OpenStreetMap

All those points - credit, link to the license, and suggested text - are right there, as the very first line of the page that opens on tap. So the difference is if all of that must be directly on a map itself or a link to the attribution, especially when there's little space on the screen, is also in compliance with the license. I've just been thinking that it's in compliance.

That's the legal part. I've been also thinking about all the contributors, and had an impression that the attribution shown after a single tap would be okay for them too.

See https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guideline...

> While the lower right corner is traditional, any corner of the map is acceptable. Alternatively, the attribution may be placed adjacent to the map or on a splash screen or pop-up shown when a user starts the app, device, website, etc.

Please add attribution “© OpenStreetMap contributors” or “© OpenStreetMap” in the bottom right corner. There is a large community of volunteers around the world who contribute to this map.

Yep, thank you and habi for bringing this up. Now, after learning the Attribution Guidelines more thoroughly, I'm updating the app to show the attribution directly on a map and fading it as specified by the guidelines.

Released a new version with a proper attribution that is always shown on the map.
