Hi, I have something which is probably 80% of the way to what you want - I developed a little program to produce paper maps in parallel with maposmatic (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TownGuide) - I did not know we were working on such similar programs. Because they were developed in silos,

Hi all, Lots of time was spent in late Feburary early March in NZ to produce printable maps from OSM/Ushahidi for Christchurch residents without power. It would be great to recycle this energy. Tim McNamara Professional \\ paperlessprojects.com Personal \\ @timClicks

Jean-Guilhem, It sounds like there could be a lot of demand for the ability to generate these map booklets. *Thomas* - are there any updates on this effort from the MapOSMatic side of things? I am working with a group of designers on the disaster prepardness project so we can definitely
