The maps are from the 1860s and not copyright protected. We would
provide high res. tiff images for the user who is creating a mobile
application for ... IPhones, etc.
We charge a usage fee when customers use our materials for publication.
We've never had anyone request and image for publication or use in a
mobile app. - normally it's use in movies, television, books, atlases,
etc. - the normal type stuff.
I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with this new technology
and if you treat it similar to other usage requests or if there is some
advice for us.
Thanks again for your attention and help.
Angie

I primarily just lurk on this list, but this one caught my attention.
Angie, How are you delivering the maps to them? Are they taking on the
responsibility to stand these maps up on a server and host them
themselves? How would they be charged normally?
I ask because I deal alot with maps in Mobile Apps and am just curious.
