This is very cool work. This is the kind of thing that makes it easy
to sell OSM to the average person. Most don't care about why geodata
should be free, but many will care about getting free maps like this
and the cyclemap.

Are you using the same elevation data as the Cyclemap? It seems crazy
if both are showing contours but using different data sets.
