Hi Will,<div>I have put what I had previously back on line at <a href="http://www.maps.webhop.net/canals" target="_blank">http://www.maps.webhop.net/canals</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>The data is quite out of date (maybe 10 months) - I realised that I am lacking the 'boat=' tag from my database so can not re-render it tonight - I will re-generate it over the next couple of days.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I did not think anyone was using this because there is an alternative at <a href="http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main?view=24" target="_blank">http://www.itoworld.com/product/data/ito_map/main?view=24</a>.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This one could be developed into more of a 'user' map rather than a 'mapper' tool though - if you are interested in developing the cartography that would be great - it could do with icons for locks, moorings, water, fuel etc. </div>
<div><br></div><div>I will move this to my '<a href="http://maps3.org.uk" target="_blank">maps3.org.uk</a>' site (which is more responsive) from an end user point of view once I have sorted out the database so I can render the tiles on demand.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Graham, I came across your waterways map a little while ago, and<br>
thought it was a great visualisation tool.<br>
<br>
I'm just now trying to take a fresh look at some of the waterways data<br>
for the UK that's held within OSM, but I see that your map is sadly no<br>
longer accessible (I get a 404).<br>
<br>
If you'd be interested in making it available again then I could<br>
perhaps provide some assistance as I have a small Linode server that's<br>
currently not doing too much, but I would need your help to explain<br>
how you put the map together.<br>
<br>
It would be great to get the waterways map (or something similar) back<br>
online again, so please let me know if I can help.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Will.<br>
