In Merkaartor, you just have to activate one of the image background providers, e.g. Mapnik, to have a full map in the background... You can then move freely to wherever you want, CTRL+D Enter and you have the OSM data of the current view... 2008/7/3 Stefan de Konink [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Iván

I would stick with the slippy map as implemented in Merkaartor. And maybe, (really maybe) enhance the highest level map with country names. (can be special nodes, easy to maintain, easy to render and easy to get from the OSM database) In my opinion, a person that is not able to find his own
