is flutter_map a correct and legal way to implement openstreetmap maps?

0

Hello, I would like to develop an application in flutter for educational purposes (a university homework) that implements maps and displays the user's position in real time.

I would like to understand if using the flutter_map package represents a correct and legal way to implement openstreetmap maps and if so, which rules I have to respect to use openstreetmap correctly, i.e. without violating the terms of use of openstreetmap.

And I would like to ask the same question for the flutter_map_location_marker plugin for real-time location implementation.

I'm not familiar with that package, but you can read the guidelines that it needs to adhere to here: https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ .

I highly doubt that one person's university homework would cause "heavy-usage" problems for OSM, but you will want to check the "Technical Usage Requirements".
