[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Off-topic? Advice on getting started/printing maps

[movyk at thing.net]

Hi,

It was great to get an initial introduction at the social some weeks ago,
but I then realized it's not quite enough for me to have figured out the
basics of the mapping, and the info on the wiki is just... a lot!

I would not mind if there was something I could print off as a booklet to
read either... but if anyone would be able to direct me to something that
explains how to use iphone (I downloaded this "OSMTrack" application, but
am not sure how to use it properly to record) and how to relate the gps to
the map in an easy, step-by-step kind of way, that would really help!

My second question, is which way is best to get OSM data for a printed,
big wall-map? I am getting this for my work (not as office decoration, as
part of my actual project), to have a poster with the office as the
center.

Thanks a lot,
Monika
