Hello everyone,

In order to improve performance I'm considering limiting the area of 
coverage of Freemap to a well-mapped area of central southern England 
covering Surrey, Hampshire, Dorset and the Isle of Wight (basically a 
quadrangle, stretching from approximately Kingston on Thames down to the 
Isle of Purbeck). I don't think my server space is quite up to either 
dynamically generating, or statically storing, tiles for the whole of the 
UK and I'd prefer to focus Freemap on a smaller and well-mapped area in 
order to showcase what can be done with free countryside mapping using OSM 
data.

In parallel we have some N95s at work for research purposes which 
hopefully I can get my hands on, opening up the possibility of a mobile 
Freemap application at some point.

If anyone from other areas of the UK have any real strong objections to 
this, please let me know and I can see what I can do. Alternatively, I can 
package up the Freemap software in an easy to install form so people can 
install on their own servers if they want to provide Freemap for other 
areas of the UK.

Nick
