[OSM-talk] Fwd: Haiti Field requirement: Haiti OSM maps in PDF

Sun Jan 17 12:38:19 GMT 2010

I wanted to point that MapOSMatic has huge improvements in their bag
just five days ago (http://news.maposmatic.org/?p=83), just like:
"    * Support for the whole world. Any location in the world can now
be rendered on maposmatic.org.
    * OpenStreetMap database updated daily. Until now, the database
had never been updated since the service was started in September
2009. Now, the geographic database used to render the maps is updated
daily, providing maps with the latest contributions to OpenStreetMap.
Each map contains the date at which it was generated.
    * Better city search engine. Thanks to Nominatim, we now provide a
search engine that allows to find cities in a much more usable way:
cities with the same name can be distinguished and the search works
even when the city name is not completely correct.
    * Support for other languages. A few parts of the map rendering
process is language-dependent and we now have the infrastructure to
use language-dependent code. For the moment, we support English,
French and Italian, but we are waiting for your contributions to
support other languages. The website has also been translated to
German and Italian.
    * Amenities in the index. In addition to the streets, we have
added important amenities to the index: schools, town hall, post
offices, places of worship, etc.
"

Sorry for spamming, but it seems that MapOSMatic can do the job. I
tried to generate Port-au-Prince, it came out 3.1 PDF. You can select
any area you want and let MapOSMatic to render it into PDF.

Cheers,
Peter.
