[Talk-GB] OS and OSM

[Graham Jones]

Ah, sorry - I misunderstood your question.
I didn't bother rendering the whole country with these because everyone said
how awful and useless Merridian2 was, so I just wanted to see how it
compared to other things.

I think Nick has just published a VectorMap District rendering.
If you would like me to render Merridan2 in the style I showed in the blog
post, I could do it pretty easily and make it available as a set of
slippy-map tiles?

Regards


Graham.
