Many years ago? They have been produced for more than ten years now – in German. There is also an English version by Andy Allan. [1] The sources of the English version can be found at GitHub: https://github.com/fossgis/openstreetmap-promotional-leaflets The photo does not show the latest version which does not mention the OpenStreetMap book by Frederik Ramm and Jochen Topf any more. The German version has different high-zoom maps featuring locations in German. It is usually used by all our mappers out there collecting the data and arguing with worried residents who assume that someone will burgle into their house next week. Some are also used at fairs or conferences where OSM community members are present. In Germany, the German flyers are printed and distributed by Geofabrik where mappers can order them via email and get a few of them via mail. The mentioned flyers are very suitable for the issues mentioned by Jason. I would appreciate it if other local chapters offered a similar service where community members can order small packages of flyers. Best regards Michael [1] Andy stopped distribution about two or three years ago. -- Per E-Mail kommuniziere ich bevorzugt GPG-verschlüsselt.
