[OSM-talk] Street mapping novice needs some help

[kat anderson]

Hi Andy,

thanks for the reply and thanks for the links.  To give more detail, I am an
artist and I'm wanting to map points of African-Caribbean culture initially
in my city.  I want to do this by using key drawings that I am creating
instead of the icons already featured e.g. arrows and dots.  Does this make
it clearer?

Cheers
Kat
