Well I now have 2 GPS devices and no contacts in the Gympie/Sunshine Coast area
of people who do a lot of traveling to lend them out to.
I've also been pondering about the accuracy issue of the usb gps data logger.
Conclusion I came up with was multiple traces should counter the problem with
Hi.
Does anyone have any pointers as to how to go about producing a good quality
printed map from OSM? I have had a bit of a play with Kosmos, but it looks
like it produces raster images. For a good printed map I will need a vector
image.
I figured there is probably some process involving SVG,
Apparently NASA and the Japanese space agency has released another elevation
map for the Eath which has 99% coverage using a 98ft grid, so roughly 9x the
resolution of SRTM's ~90m grid.
BBC news have it covered here:

resolution dataset so the topo lines can be smoother and
more accurate.

Google turned up this. Out of curiousity I'm downloading some tiles from the

If your using gpsdrive or gosmore then you can integrate it for your own
use anyway.
Details are in the osm wiki.

Hmm, that's a bit annoying. The more restrictive license is probably due
to the data being collected by Japanese equipment rather than purely NASA
gear.
Aw well,
