Hello,
I hope i have picked the right list to ask these questions, please alow me to
explain myself;
I am a 4x4 off-roader and i have a laptop on the dash of my vehicle running
memory map. I have been searching the internet for cheap & detailed maps. I
have had little success. I took the decision to make my own maps. I have began
compiling DVDs/CDs with map data taken from the US Gov GeoCover website
https://zulu.ssc.nasa.gov/mrsid/mrsid.pl and openstreetmap xml data. i have
then encoded it into geotiff tiles for use with memory map and other gps based
software.
i have the intention of selling the dvds at cost, around £10. this will include
a donation of £2.50 to openstreetmap. the remainder of the money will cover the
free postage,ebay fees and the cost of a dvd with a case. I have been trying to
find someone at openstreetmap that can help me with the legalities of putting
openstreetmap onto a dvd which i then sell. I don't want to step on anyone toes
as it were.
for an idea of what i am doing point your browsers to http://maps.sj410.co.uk
on there i have the html which autorun when the dvd/cd is inserted into the
users pc. i have only started work on iceland for the moment but i hope to
include other contries if what i am doing is acceptable.
any advice would be greatly appreciated
Greg Holloway.
