Out of curiosity - there is a "getmap" TeX package:
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/getmap
which can put the maps directly from the net using just the address.
Currently it uses Google Maps and MapQuest, but not the other OSM maps
we have, so I asked the author of getmap and here's what he reply to me:
getmap works with so called public static image APIs, which are
provided by Mapquest and Google. AFAIR, OSM does *not* provide such an
API - at least at last time I checked. But, I've read that OSM now
provides direct routing. If they would also provide an static image
API, ... ;-)
So what about that "public static image APIs" - do we have it (or will
we some day)?
