[OSM-newbies] Printing a map

[Seventy 7]

Fourth time lucky! I keep breaking the 40K limit on postings.

Maperitive will do this right now, even though it's only 10% 
complete, if that!

It has the ability to show Mapnik and Osmarender backgrounds and it 
will also export them at any zoom level and any width (within 
reason). I have a map of York, UK, rendered at Zoom 18 and covers 
some 9 sq miles or so. At 30MB I won't post it!

The attached shows (at significantly reduced quality! I've had to compress it a lot) the florist 
John's interested in. It's a Mapnik background with a single 
Maperitive rule to render Florists. Does the job!

Regards,
Steve
