[OSGeo-Discuss] New open source Web map design tool : TileMill
Hi everyone! I just found this new open source Web map design tool released on Feb. 16 : TileMill http://tilemill.com/index.html http://developmentseed.org/blog/2011/feb/16/announcing-tilemill-modern-map-design-studio-powered-open-source *TileMill is a tool for cartographers to quickly and easily design maps for the web using custom data. It is built on the powerful open-source map rendering library Mapnik - the same software OpenStreetMap and MapQuest use to make some of their maps. TileMill is not intended to be a general-purpose cartography tool, but rather focuses on streamlining and simplifying a narrow set of use cases.* * * And how government agencies can use it : http://govfresh.com/2011/02/gov-2-0-guide-to-open-source-custom-map-design-using-tilemill/ I'm not a real GIS guy but it seems pretty interesting!
