Qgis Georeferencer plugin suit well this situation (together with not-yet existing OSM-WMS). User can open the scan or digital photo in one window, existing OSM data in another, find a bunch of corresponding points for ground control points and Ping -you are ready. I mean ready to start fighting who has the copyright of the new OSM derived rectified image :) Of course this is not possible if there are no OSM data gathered on that area yet. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
