[Talk-GB] "Freemap-VMD" : OpenData plus OSM footpaths

[Nick Whitelegg]

Hi,

Did an initial experiment with this a while back but now I've extended the area of coverage to include much of England and all of Wales.

Anyway, "Freemap-VMD" (working title) is a combination of VectorMap District raster tiles, LandForm PANORAMA contours and rights of way and permissive paths from OSM, rendered in a somewhat Landranger-like style. 

It currently covers much of England (Manchester southwards, except for East Anglia) and all of Wales. It may be some time before it expands further, due to the slowness of uploading the tiles (30-45 minutes for 100-150 MB of tiles is typical). Note that *only* paths with the designation tag or foot=permissive are shown; for that reason, Wales looks pretty empty, even Snowdonia - but as soon as the paths are tagged correctly it should come to life ;-)
