i will just be including the tiles, no software.
i will be writting details to the dvd not the casing and i shall mention
openstreepmap copyright and any others related., i'll change the text on the
autorun html to include your suggestion.
should i include the raw data on the dvd, ie before i have encoded the geotiff?
thanks for you help.
