[OSM-talk] IoW: New Popular Edition orthorectified

[Mikel Maron]

Awesome. 
I'd like to make this available as a layer in the editing applet. 
Wondering now how to quickly get this served up by mapserver for WMS access...

Hi all,

Thanks to Laurence Penney, we now have orthorectified tiles of the  
scanned New Popular Edition Isle of Wight sheet.

Since it's orthorectified, and the map is out of copyright, you can  
trace to your heart's content, use it as a base layer, or whatever you  
like. Each tile is 1km x 1km on the familiar Ordnance Survey National  
Grid.

There's a web interface here:
http://www.lorp.org/maps/?e=449&n=094&z=2

or you can download all the tiles in a .zip:
http://www.lorp.org/maps/osmor/180.zip

Thus far, the map has been corrected using four anchor points (i.e.  
one at each corner of the map). Inevitably the fluctuations in the  
scan are sometimes a bit more uneven than that, and we'd be interested  
to hear feedback on how much of a problem this is for any proposed uses.

cheers
Richard
