[OSM-talk-be] how to create a 'ready-to-print' city map from OSM

[Karel Adams]

Technisch gezien lijkt me dit niet al te moeilijk.

Gebied selecteren, betreffende gegevens ophalen via bv. overpass, 
postscriptje uit breien, ps2pdf en kees komt klaar :) En jawel, een 
beetje tricky met name vs. name:nl vs.name:fr maar niet onoverkomelijk, 
zolang ik er niet al te diep over nadenk :)

Maar dit is blijkbaar een verzoek vanuit een professionele omgeving dus 
het lijkt me iets voor een commercieel aanbieder. Die waren er toch wel, 
alhier? Als niemand anders reageert wil ik ook wel een poging wagen...
