Which is a reason why I'm surprised Richard F. has taken this standpoint. With the release of 1:25k data, websites become free, of a charge &/or advertising, & printed maps become much cheaper (depending on which license it's released under after the consultation). What's not to like! Cheers Dave F. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
