I have compared a few of our maps to what comes up. Very impressed some of our areas are well documented already. Would it be possible to get the maps to display aligned to magnetic north, it appears that they are true north at present. This shows up very clearly when I flick between OCAD and the web page. Even if we had to type in the declination that would be fine. e.g. we use 23.5 degrees in Christchurch NZ.

Great functionality. Thanks very much. Christchurch in New Zealand is well documented in OSM so this looks very interesting for our local O club.

Nice trip. Makes escaping the city worth it. Off up north again this evening for more boarding and ski touring fun. Dont know how you survive london! Good pics on the other blog.

Thanks Sam – 8.5×11 pages (i.e. US Letter) is now available as an option on the PDF creator.

The creator is designed for orienteering maps rather than for other layer types. A general-use PDF creator is something I could build in the future if there was demand. I wouldn’t be able to do the cycle map as the stylesheet for that layer isn’t published (for good reasons, it’s Andy’s intellectual property) so I wouldn’t be able to recreate it in vector format, and raster-based PDFs are not good for maps. The default “mapnik” layer is certainly possible to do though as that stylesheet is in the OSM SVN repository.

I don’t know if the hikebikemap.de stylesheet is published, but even if it is, the use of raster layers (for the background hillshading) adds a layer of complexity to the process.

IJ – dashed lines are the convention for street-O maps. For the pseud-O layer, metalled cycle ways should perhaps be shown as unbroken lines – something that may change in the future.

Hi,
Awesome Site!
Wondering if your planning on having a ‘hikebikemap.de’ layer and a ‘cyclemap layer’ and a mapnik layer.
How you have that pdf creater is AWESOME!

Would be great if you could make regular 8.5×11 pages also.

Thats all for my wish list.
Great Job!
Cheers,
Sam

Wow! Especially the Pseud-O is really good-looking and makes me wanna go straight out and map my surroundings even more. Also very nice with a pdf-exporter well suited for printed maps. This is really cool! Keep up the good work!

[...] start and the finish just beside the Freedom Monument. It was a sprint training with a very special OpenOrienteeringMap. And turned out to be just perfect for a bit longer sprint orienteering session across the central [...]

Not me I’m afraid, but I did something similar on a previous occasion, along a very similar route, but ending up in Park End.

As I recall, the descriptions ended with “navigate to bed”, which most people managed. Many of them to their own beds.

I feel it to be slightly strange that cycle/footways appear as paths (dashed lines), esp. if they are paved they are hardly any different from serviceway which are the only ones that are currently drawn with a solid line.
