5 Whereis® - specific terms of use
5.1 These terms and conditions (“Whereis Specific Terms”) apply to your use of:
(a) the Whereis Website; and
(b) the Whereis App provided by us through the Whereis® Application as made available by us from time to time on devices such as the iPhone and iPad devices ("Whereis App").
The Whereis Website and Whereis App are collectively referred to as Whereis Properties.
Copyright
5.2 The Whereis® maps displayed on the Whereis Properties have been generated from the Whereis® map server. This map server uses Whereis® map data that was developed by Sensis Pty Ltd ("Sensis").
5.3 Copyright in the ®Whereis Properties and the digital map data presented on the Whereis Properties is jointly owned by Telstra, Sensis and others. The Whereis Properties also incorporates data or imagery which is sourced from the Department of Treasury and Finance, Geographic Data Victoria, Geoscience Australia, Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads and Orbimage Inc (trading as GeoEye).
5.4 For information about licensing the above data, contact Sensis on 1800 819 471 or email Whereisadmin@sensis.com.au.
Map coverage
5.5 Map coverage within the Whereis Properties are progressively updated in an effort to provide the most comprehensive and complete online map database for Australia.
5.6 Currently the Whereis Properties provide map data covering most of Australia. The detail and completeness of the data varies according to location. Capital city regions currently offer the highest level of map data.
5.7 You acknowledge that any inactive maplinks may be removed by us without notice to you.
Estimated travel times
5.8 The estimated travel times for map routing are calculated using average travel speeds dependant on the road classification and mode of transport.
5.9 No consideration is made for traffic conditions, traffic lights, or other barriers and factors that may otherwise impede or enhance the estimated travel time.
5.10 Below are the average speeds used in our calculations:
Main roads: 90km/h
Roads of major importance: 60km/h
Other major roads: 50km/h
Secondary roads: 50km/h
Local connecting roads: 40km/h
Local roads: 40km/h
Local roads of minor importance: 35km/h
Other roads: 25km/h
Bike & walking tracks etc: 10km/h
The above stated average speeds are combined with the calculated travel distance to estimate the travel time.
5.11 Travel time is rounded to the nearest minute and thus the sum of the travel times for each instruction may not equal the total travel time for the entire trip in some circumstances.
Estimated distance
5.12 The estimated distance for map routing is calculated using the departure and arrival locations input by the user. Distances are derived from the road network rather than a straight line distance.
Additional notes
5.13 The route presented is considered the simplest route between the departure and arrival address, using higher road classes (main roads) where possible.
5.14 In some cases route numbers are used on the maps rather than the known road names. This occurs mainly on Freeways, Motorways and Tollways.
5.15 Currently map routes can be generated within and between all capital cities and some major population centres such as the Central Coast in New South Wales, Wollongong, Geelong and the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria , and the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
5.16 Australian cities contain many locations which are known as 'localities' rather than 'suburbs'. Localities do not have defined boundaries and often fall across multiple suburbs. When planning a route, the suburb name in a city should be used rather than a popular 'locality' name. For example use 'Box Hill North' or 'Surrey Hills' rather than 'Mont Albert', or use 'Darlinghurst' instead of 'Kings Cross'.
5.17 The map data used within the Whereis Properties contains the same high quality navigational attributes as used by our In Car navigation database. Should you find any abnormalities or inconsistencies in your searches, please make use of our contact form or contact the Whereis® Navigation Service Centre on 1800 819 471.
Cookies
5.18 We may use “cookies” on the Whereis Properties for profiling purposes and to provide online advertising on the Whereis Properties that is tailored to the suburb or postcode you specify in your search.
