Over the past decade, the city of New York has purchased land in the area of their watershed under a filtration waver program. Most of this land is in small [less than a 250 acres] parcels, and is open to passive recreational activities such as hiking. They have published maps of the individual parcels in PDF format & using a wide variety of scales [to fit on a single 8 1/2 X 11 printout]. [ http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/watershed_protection/recreation_maps.shtml]
They're great short-ish walks & I would like to add them to OSM. However, aligning them presents a problem. "Field Papers" is one solution, and I can convert the PDF into tiff, but is this the best [or only] solution? Fugawi advertises itself as being able to convert maps using three reference points, but migrating this into OSM is a question - so, is anything like this available for OSM?
