So i now have a cool program that will create the mapsource map with the latest and greatest osm data, along with my crazy trail routes across canada. Thanks to Dale's update program, i've been able to make a similar thing. :) so that means i can make provincial and regional maps on request. -oh ya, the crowsnest pass SRTM contours will show up too :)
um ya, regional boundries are great to have on OSM. -a rule? If you see a sign showing town line, the exact spot of the sign is assumed to be the border. A photo of the sign can be added. And ya, there will be many levels of boundries. -the key is to have tagging structure consistent. -so check what worked on other areas so each area type works. Looking at the future of JOSM i see it adding the 3rd dimention, where the roads will be objects with widths, depths and surface attribs and object relations. So... Population areas and region names, and parks, etc. Can all be thought of that way. (as a 3d object with x,y,z) right now, the lines run in the center of the invisable objects). As for the coil bound atlas book, i can use wikitravel, so a discription of each area is listed, as well as the local tourist maps would also be incorporated. If you get a chance visit your local wikitravel page and in a picture of the osm map :) So all in all, looking back at the wikipages i made, they are all now outdated :) if anyone has ideas on how they would like to see the map book, feel free to discribe it on my talk page :) cheers, Sam _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
