[OSM-talk] Tah.openstreetmap.org/MapOf/ with georeferencing

[Jukka Rahkonen]

Hi,

Wouldn't it be nice to have an option to get maps with georeferencing info from
http://tah.openstreetmap.org/MapOf/?

I have seen a working example of this. With an OSM image capture utility
"OSM-Map" (http://alpo.hassinen.googlepages.com/osm-map)   
user can not only capture a map from screen to image file but also store the
corresponding calibration file either in MapInfo .tab or OziExplorer .map
format.  Thus the captured images can be used in all GIS software or in
OziExplorer.  Some tweaking may be needed, for example gdal supports
georeferencing with .tab files  only for tiff images, and before using images 
in OziExplorer CE they must first be converted to special Ozi image format
with another utility.  However, often a georeferenced image is much more 
that just an image. 

Unfortunately OSM-map web page and software seems to be available only in
Finnish.
