So if you view the same area in the cyclemap it would suddenly become a topographical map, because the cyclemap has contourlines. Except that you still would not see them, because that area is as flat as a pancake. It used to be a swamp, before it was made into farmland. -- m.v.g., Cartinus _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
