Hello everyone, I want to extend a proper and massive "thank you" to everyone who helped/is helping with the TM job. The map has started generating some pretty interesting comments, my favourite one being: "where did you find this map??" (my answer "I had it custom made" just left people voiceless) As I am writing this, my colleagues are commenting the poster map on the wall in front of me. I've asked them to write neighbourhood names (that's how people refer to places here) and other info on it so I can update OSM with the info. I am planning to write a more detailed feedback message with some thoughts later, but this couldn't wait :)
Here's a photo of the first poster I printed on 12 A4 sheets using tilemill (http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=34fn0qf&s=5). Quality is poor as the printer was running out of toner, but it's very exciting and useful nonetheless. Have a nice day, Laurent 2013/9/24 Pierre GIRAUD <[email protected]> > I've spent some time to manually update the job so that it takes > Laurent's requested area into account. > It shouldn't have break anything.
