Jon Burgess pointed me to : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.shadedrelief.com/">http://www.shadedrelief.com/</a> and I
downloaded some data, warped into Mercator and rendered tiles with
Mapnik.
Here are results : <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://mapnik.org/maps/natural_earth/">http://mapnik.org/maps/natural_earth/</a>
This is a very rough cut and I'm aware of some problems ..
Should we be using this data (public domain AFAIK) for mapnik layer
or on separate layer ? What do cartographers think?
Cheers
Artem
