Thanks again, John. 

Maperitive sounds like it will do what we need to do. A live map would be 
handy, but It sounds like Maperitive will give me plenty of control over the 
display. 

As to why we want to record the positions; there are a lot of bike routes with 
markings and signage that don't meet the current standards. The city says they 
will fix them over time but they want us to give them a list.
