[OSM-talk] Printed map books

[Graham Jones]

Hi,
The two 'townguide' ones are mine, but the demonstration web service at
townguide.webhop.net is not working, sorry (had a little disk crash a year
ago, and never quite got around to putting it back together...)

Getting a nice printable booklet working has been on my todo list for ages
- there is a rough implementation of it in the townguide code, but that is
really a proof of concept rather than a finished work.    I must admit to
not developing townguide recently, but if there is demand for this, I will
have a go at getting a booklet implementation working....you will have to
give me a few weeks though, but the code is all open source, so if you
would like to work on it, I can explain how it works.

I think there is another option called pdfatlas - This is aiming to do
something similar, but I failed to get it working when I tried - can't
remember why though - worth searching on the OSM wiki for it.

Regards

Graham.
