Here is exactly where it comes from. Every course on Birdied starts life as a record in OpenStreetMap — the open map of the world, built by hundreds of thousands of volunteers. We add detail on top, and we tell you which is which.
Open data is a commitment, not a shortcut. It means our corrections flow back to a commons that anyone can use, and it means we can show you our sources instead of asking you to take our word for it.
Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0
Course base records — name, location, hole count, par and course type. Ingested from the Overpass API and refreshed as OpenStreetMap changes.
Google Maps Platform Terms of Service
Gap-filling detail only — a course website, a photo, a city name or a course type, and only where OpenStreetMap left that field empty. It never overwrites a value OpenStreetMap or a member already supplied.
Open Database License (ODbL) 1.0
The vector map tiles behind the Atlas. The tiles are rendered from OpenStreetMap data, so the same ODbL credit applies to the map itself.
Public domain
Country and region boundaries — the polygons behind the Atlas borders and the country and region index pages.
CC BY 4.0
Current playing conditions shown on a course page.
Ratings, reviews, rounds and wishlists are written by Birdied members. They are ours and our members’, not OpenStreetMap’s, and are not redistributed under the ODbL.
A wrong hole count or a course in the wrong place is usually wrong at the source, and fixing it there fixes it for everyone — not just for Birdied.
