Chris,<div>I don't know one about waterways, but for walking routes it is worth looking at Lonvia's hiking map (<a href="http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html">http://osm.lonvia.de/world_hiking.html</a>) - I use this one.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have had a bit of a go at learning how to create overlays for other things - I started with supermarkets (<a href="http://maps.webhop.net/supermarkets">http://maps.webhop.net/supermarkets</a>), and power stations (<a href="http://maps.webhop.net/power">http://maps.webhop.net/power</a>). There is another one (<a href="http://maps.webhop.net/topo/">http://maps.webhop.net/topo/</a>) that combines a few overlays and some contours. It would be very easy to convert these to generate waterways overlays if you want to - I think they have an 'about' page. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Note that these are served off my computer at home, so they load rather slowly - the upload speed on my broadband connection is not very good!</div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>
<br></div><div>For point data rather than images, it might be worth doing it a different way and using javascript to plot the points, but these simple images seem to work - they just take up a lot of disk space if you render them to high zoom levels.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Let me know if you need any help.</div><div><br></div><div>Graham.</div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 17 January 2011 23:05, Chris Moss <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:moschris@googlemail.com">moschris@googlemail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I'm interested in the GB waterways and it seems there's quite a bit of work done but it's totally invisible. Is anyone working on a layer like the cycle map, which leaps out from the overlays as the only minority interest yet developed?<br>
<br>
It's not the only layer I'd like to see. What about walking paths, railways, contours, points of interest, postcode areas, administrative boundaries, constituencies, bus routes, etc., etc.<br>
<br>
Shouldn't maps allow you to concentrate on whatever you're interested in? Can someone please explain to me how or if this can be done with openstreetmap?<br>
