[OSM-talk] Generating a street directory from OSM?

[Graham Jones]

It has always been my intention to make townguide do what you want.  There
is the basic code in it to make a book format output but it does not work
properly.

I am working on a new release of townguide building on Waldemar's excellent
Google Summer of Code project.

I can fix the booklet generation as part of this if it would be useful.

All offers of help appreciated!

Yeah, walking papers is nice, but doesn't do the multi-page directory
format I'm interested in. Where's the "overview map thingie"?

Its main advantage over maposmatic seems to be the ability to focus on
certain kinds of things (pubs, for example).

Yeah, this seems like the best. Obviously it only currently does
single page format, but the rendering infrastructure, user interface
etc is all there.

To be a bit clearer about what I'm talking about, picture a book of
say 200 pages, covering a very large city (eg, Melbourne, Australia
where I live - approx 4 million people spread over a ridiculously
large area). There's a street index at the back, but that's only
tangential to the maps - not the central goal. So the hard bit is
setting up a structure to impose a grid structure over the inhabited
parts of the city, rendering it all, and adding all the cross
references between pages. Oh, and then, printing and binding :)
