Can we make an OpenOffice draw template & add in a map key? -showing what the mapnik icons show/represent. Also, Showing numbers as (tranparent jpg's) so they can be moved around on the page and cross-referenced in a space on the 2nd page of the maposmatic sheet. If you dont understand, thats OK, i'll make it myself. (after im done with the transparent contour map & mapsource installer) Sam On 1/17/10, ce-test, qualified testing bv - Gert Gremmen <[email protected]> wrote: > Maposmatic seems to do the job: > > > > http://www.maposmatic.org/ > > > > Gert > > > > Van: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] > Namens nicolas chavent > Verzonden: zondag 17 januari 2010 2:01 > Aan: [email protected]; [email protected] > CC: CJ Hendrix > Onderwerp: [OSM-talk] Haiti Field requirement: Haiti OSM maps in PDF > > > > Hi there. > > Below a post on the topic getting Haiti OSM maps in PDF for direct use in > the field and circulation in fora such as relief web.
