Dear OSM members
My background is medical and not cartographic. I am sincerely hoping that
someone might possibly be prepared to assist me and my US-based volunteer
programmer with the ongoing development of our proposed freeware healthcare
education application.
We are attempting to create a healthcare system simulator with the greater
metropolitan Cape Town area as our geographic location (as Cape Town is my home
city). I have been most fortunate in obtaining a fairly detailed geocoded map
of the area (courtesy of a University of Stellenbosch academic) depicting 320
suburbs (which is key to our healthcare system simulation model). I have also
painstakingly pasted together a couple of composite png images depicting the
corresponding area of interest within the OSM.
[A series of Dropbox links to these files are listed below].
I am hoping that someone might possibly be prepared to assist us in creating a
dynamic loading map onto which a series of iconic links to our proposed
healthcare structures can be positioned (please refer to
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xdzs8hqggpq0jn/OpenStreetMap3.png for further
relevant information). The optimal format of such a map is open to debate -
whether it is the default OSM (which tends to obscure the individual icons), a
somewhat less cluttered version (that will further highlight the individual
icons) or a rendered 3d image (which could appear stunning) ....
Please note that the final (massive) image of the greater metropolitan Cape
Town area extends somewhat beyond the initial geocoded map as we are
potentially interested in adding some rural districts to the suburban
healthcare regions.

We are hoping that someone will be able and willing to create a suitably
detailed (and visually aesthetic) scenario map to complement our evolving
Schematic World Map.
