Apologies for cross posting but I'm rather annoyed about this.
A couple of weeks ago I came across a MH Parking PoI set offered for download from the GPS Data Team. Intrigued that someone else should have set up a set as well as myself I investigated further and found that it is a copy of my set in the state which was available from 24th April to 1st June last year. To obtain the dataset from GPS Data Team one must pay for registration.
I'm annoyed because in the Conditions of Use I explicitly state that people may not make copies for commercial gain, publish or sell any of the contents of the PoI set for any commercial purpose without my prior written consent. The main reasons are that the PoIs are intended for use in conjunction with information displayed on the Motorhome Friendly and Unfriendly Parking web site (which gives more details of parking spots) and that by maintaining a single point for download I can ensure that the set is updated regularly. The PoIs are free to download from my web site for personal use.
Some wazzock obviously feels that he/she is special and can ignore such conditions.
Since June last year the PoI set has been updated with 9 deletions and 53 extra records as well as a number of corrections it continues to be updated on an approximately monthly basis.
I have tried to contact GPS Data Team on a number of occasions in the past couple of weeks to ask them to remove the dataset from their web site. I have used their forums, online contact form and an e-mail address found using a Whois search. I have not received any response.
Please do not waste your money downloading the dataset from the GPS Data Team site.
