I need to download the map of a county in California, for print AND web use. If possible, please advise (I have read that OSM has other tools/websites for easier download)? Also, if possible but must be done in segments, how can I later seamlessly connect the downloaded tile segment files together to create a single file (file format must be SVG; I am using InkScape)? Lastly, for web use, can I create the ability to zoom in/out, or this requires extensive programming?
This question is marked "community wiki".

For making a printable map I advise you to look at the wiki for options. There are ways of stitching the png tiles together again to form a big map, or rendering your own map in svg format optionally tweaking the rendering to your liking. As for a slippy map on a web site you can check out OpenLayers witch is the nice open source slippy map used on the main page. answered 12 Dec '10, 06:22 Gnonthgol ♦ |
