Hello David, Once you delete the barcode, it misses the point completely, but I don't think anyone will mind.
Look at this: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Static_map_images Regards, Nic 2010/10/3 David Richfield <[email protected]>: > I like to abuse walking-papers to generate nice printable pdfs from > openstreetmap tiles - the fact that they have some information at the > top gives them the added advantage of being an advertisement for the > project as a whole. > > I have just figured out a relatively straightforward recipe for adding > free-form annotations to the maps (e.g. X marks the spot; here is the > party place; here's the route for the nude bike race; whatever.) > > 1.
