<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Dear OSM members</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>My background is medical and not cartographic. I am
sincerely hoping that someone might possibly be prepared to assist me and my
US-based volunteer programmer with the ongoing development of our proposed
freeware healthcare education application.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We are attempting to create a healthcare system
simulator with the greater metropolitan Cape Town area as our geographic
location (as Cape Town is my home city). I have been most fortunate in
obtaining a fairly detailed geocoded map of the area (courtesy of a University
of Stellenbosch academic) depicting 320 suburbs (which is key to our healthcare
system simulation model). I have also painstakingly pasted together a
couple of composite png images depicting the corresponding area of interest
within the OSM.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am hoping that someone might possibly be prepared
to assist us in creating a dynamic loading map onto which a series of
iconic links to our proposed healthcare structures can be positioned (please
refer to <A
href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xdzs8hqggpq0jn/OpenStreetMap3.png">https://www.dropbox.com/s/5xdzs8hqggpq0jn/OpenStreetMap3.png</A>
for further relevant information). The optimal format of such a map is
open to debate - whether it is the default OSM (which tends to obscure the
individual icons), a somewhat less cluttered version (that will further
highlight the individual icons) or a rendered 3d image (which could appear
stunning) ....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please note that the final (massive) image of the
greater metropolitan Cape Town area extends somewhat beyond the initial geocoded
map as we are potentially interested in adding some rural districts to the
suburban healthcare regions.</FONT></DIV>
