View a map, such as the online crime map. There is no attribution on the web page or in the map itself, that I can find.

It opens with a disclaimer page, where I might assume attribution would be.

There is no information button or text overlay on the map.

Is basemaps.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World_Basemap_v2/VectorTileServer actually OSM based? I scrolled it to area I know well and accuracy is quite low (can be still OSM road data, just with some reduced accuracy)

I know my area well, and I drew all of these houses in the estate. compared with the same location in OSM. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/-27.5584/153.2461

they don't look exactly the same to me

I believe they're using a combination of Google Maps, OpenStreetMap, and some other source for roads and some buildings.

• The background layer, with water and vegetation matches Google Maps
• The buildings are mostly(?) from OSM.
• The roads I can't find a matching source for. I thought they might be from QLD Globe but they don't match.

Wrightson Road (in the centre of the image, leading East of Kinross Rd) doesn't exist, it's a planned but not implemented road from the local council. It's on Redland City GIS Portal but doesn't match the imagery.

Note the alignment of houses on the south side of Walter Drive and north of Lochridge Street matches OSM (as there's construction in between these roads https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/859686950) but the water (outdated) on the South-East corner of Walter Dr is from Google Maps.

Now I'm scouring for similarities and differences, the buildings don't entirely match OSM or Google either 😵

I don't know where that leaves this one. They're using Mapbox and "MuiGrid" and "MuiPaper" according to devtools. I'm at a loss now. It's inconclusive, unless it's possible to dig into Mapbox through the console or just email [email protected] to find out.
