Can Screen Captures be Published Commercially

[TJLensing1]

Hello.  Concerning the recent announcement: ArcGIS Online Basemaps Freely Available.  The announcement implies that a commercial, for-profit organization can use these interactive maps if they are hosted by Esri, correct?  What if the organization only needs a still image of a particular region of a map at a particular zoom level - can they use a screen capture and publish the image on their website?  Would there be any attribution required?  For example, see the attached.

Thanks.

The following URL's will give you some information on using static maps.

Your question isn't answered directly, but yes, you can include a static map on your website as long as you provide proper attribution.

Great!  Thanks so much.

Sarah, one more question.  How do we add a text box to the map?  I only see icons for pushpins and shapes etc.  And we're not allowed to add them on later via photoshop correct?

Just open your web map in ArcGIS Explorer Online to add text over the map (Explorer Online currently supports this, but no the map viewer in ArcGIS.com; we're working on it.) I don't know about whether you can add text over the image with photoshop; hopefully Sarah will reply.

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks Mike, I actually just discovered that in my fiddling around.  Thanks so much.

You can add graphics/text to a map, but you cannot obscure any logos or copyright text that might be on the map.

Even with Photoshop?
