[OSM-talk-be] My first attempt at a boundary

[Marc Gemis]

Thanks for correcting my mistake.

I'm still using the geoloket from the Antwerp province, with Silverlight.
The application has the possibility to save the map in jpg/png/... or pdf.
I first tried with PDF, but that didn't work in JOSM.

I'll try the link you've send and see whether I can export data from there
as well.

regards
