[OSM-talk] Slippy Map update

[John McKerrell]

Hi

I've updated this page with some of what's been said on this thread:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Slippy_Map

Can someone please check my changes are correct, really we should be  
pointing people at this page when the question comes up, as it does  
tend to come up quite often (which is fine, I just think it would be  
useful if we could direct people to the wiki rather than someone  
having to answer the question again each time).

John
