The official 2012 website has some maps produced by stamen design, whom some may know of, and which use Flash and mapnik. I wrote a short review of this in the Society of Cartographers November newsletter, which is available online at: http://www.soc.org.uk/newslett.htm#latestNewsletter Article is on p33, but you might well find other material of interest. Enjoy.

Indeed, which is why I suggested both some maps that I doubt the well-oiled engine will produce, and some organisations who would be interested in free / alternative maps, rather than trying to compete in producing basic/visitor maps of the area. At least, I thought that was smart ;-) Kind regards, Tom _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
