I'm not asking for that, either. What I was sort of envisaging was a web 
service where you scrolled to an area on a slippy map, clicked a few 
checkboxes "Yes, this area, with contours, without amenities..." and 
clicked "render" and it took you to a new page with the map you were after.

I realise this is work; I have no expectation on any particular person 
to make this happen. I just thought it would be a good idea that would 
serve the map-using public better, and may prevent people photocopying 
the A-Z or illegally screenshotting Google Maps.
