Hi all,

orvuau> You may want to add a node without a line to indicate a local pub or a
orvuau> open wlan network ("point of interest").

ok leave the node tool in and rename it to "Annotations", but in order
to draw roads I should not have to place a node first. Seriously try
using Illustrator to draw a path - its so easy and pleasurable!


> 1 I would love to drag a box over the map and then be able to download
> an eps or jpg of that section!

orvuau> Scrolling, zooming and a final Alt+Print (=screenshot) won't do it?

Erm well I would like a large image - much bigger than the bounds of the
tiny window + how can I get a vector eps? I my humble opinion these
are the kind of things that will make this really useful resource for normal
people .

orvuau> How do you distinguish between roads that intersect and roads that don't
orvuau> (eg due to bridges)?

If you drag the line across an interceting line than its a bridge.
If you drag and drop a line onto the point where it intersects with
another line than its a joint.
