Yeah I also would like a way to export printable (vector) graphics for larger areas. Or even better, shape-file export! A non-crippled Geofabrik/Cloudmade export feature is what Im longing for. It is a shame professional output still essentially is missing from the OSM project. I put a lot of effort contributing to the data but I hardly can get anything useful out of it. Yet. Still praying to the geek goddess tho. :)
