LICENCE - The Driver's Roadbook, Spain and Portugal sample (DRAFT)

This is the free five-road sample. You paid nothing for it, and it is yours to
keep and to drive.

YOU MAY
  Use these routes for your own driving, for as long as you like.
  Load them onto any number of your own devices.
  Print the roadbook for your own use.
  Show a friend the roadbook, or drive a route together.
  Share and reuse the GPX tracks themselves, on the terms at the foot of this
  file. They are open data and they are not ours to restrict.

PLEASE DON'T
  Post the roadbook, the START-HERE page, or the pack as a whole on a forum, a
  file host, a Telegram group or anywhere else people can download them.
  Sell them, or include them in anything you sell.

WHY IT MATTERS
  Access rules change every season and this region changes faster than most.
  The Grazalema pass was shut by storms from February to June 2026. The Ronda
  road was closed by a landslide for four months in 2025. Formentor and the
  Covadonga lakes are shut to cars for most of the year, on dates that are
  reset annually. Keeping this accurate is the work, and the next edition is
  what pays for it.

ABOUT THE ROUTE DATA
  The GPX tracks, and the routes drawn on the pages, come from OpenStreetMap
  and carry the Open Database Licence (ODbL). They are open data. You may copy,
  adapt and republish them, commercially or not, as long as you credit
  OpenStreetMap contributors and keep them under the same licence. Every GPX
  file repeats that in its own metadata.

  How they were made, so you can check the work or redo it: the OpenStreetMap
  ways that form each road were joined end to end, side turnings were trimmed,
  and any track over 8,000 points was thinned so a head unit will load it. No
  routing engine was used, and no track was drawn by hand.

  What is not open data, and stays ours: the writing, the drive scores and the
  rule behind them, the toll, season and closure research, the places worth
  stopping for, and the design of the book.

ABOUT THE PLACE LOOKUP
  The towns and cities the web page searches, when you type where you are
  starting from, come from GeoNames (geonames.org) and carry the Creative
  Commons Attribution 4.0 licence.

  The distances it then shows you are straight lines, not driving routes.
  In the mountains the road is always longer than the line.

ABOUT THE MAP ON PAGE 2
  The country outlines, the coast, the lakes and the rivers under the routes
  come from Natural Earth (naturalearthdata.com), which is public domain and
  asks for no credit. The routes drawn over them are the same OpenStreetMap
  geometry as every road page, and carry the same ODbL terms as above.
