Yeah, I tried that earlier but it seems to be very good at making a single map of a limited area. It doesn't seem to be able to handle GPX input, either. The route I have is ~100 miles long so using this tool doesn't seem like the best way to do this. I did run across a tool named Mobac that seemed to do exactly what I wanted except the "paper" maps were very choppy and didn't show the route. :( I think it might be better setup to create maps to upload to a digital device (like a GPS or the like). --Eric _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
