[OSM-talk] Fwd: Haiti Field requirement: Haiti OSM maps in PDF
Just picking up on this, the chatter I've heard suggests that it would be *very* helpful to overlay printed maps with the NATO MGRS grid. (MapOSMatic generates its own arbitrary grid: pretty, but not as useful in this situation.) @spara came up with this tidy lat/long and MGRS location finder, so the code is out there: http://haiti.crisiscommons.org/location/ Has anyone got further with a clean printable style? -andyg ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Haiti Field requirement: Haiti OSM maps in PDF
In case you haven't seen these, the folks at Delta State University have been making PDFs with the MGRS grid of much of the main earthquake zone (and using some OSM data)--see them here: http://edcftp.cr.usgs.gov/pub/data/disaster/201001_Earthquake_Haiti/data/map_products/MISSISSIPPI_DELTA_STATE_MAPS/ (esp. see the Haiti_6Kscale_8511A4size_Geopdfimage_Atlas_vDSU20100123 series) They've been using ESRI products to produce the maps, but it would probably be worthwhile to talk to them if you want to do something similar.

Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Haiti Field requirement: Haiti OSM maps in PDF
I wanted to point that MapOSMatic has huge improvements in their bag just five days ago (http://news.maposmatic.org/?p=83), just like: * Support for the whole world. Any location in the world can now be rendered on maposmatic.org. * OpenStreetMap database updated daily. Until now, the database had never been updated since the service was started in September 2009. Now, the geographic database used to render the maps is updated daily, providing maps with the latest contributions to OpenStreetMap. Each map contains the date at which it was generated. * Better city search engine. Thanks to Nominatim, we now provide a search engine that allows to find cities in a much more usable way: cities with the same name can be distinguished and the search works even when the city name is not completely correct. * Support for other languages. A few parts of the map rendering process is language-dependent and we now have the infrastructure to use language-dependent code. For the moment, we support English, French and Italian, but we are waiting for your contributions to support other languages. The website has also been translated to German and Italian. * Amenities in the index. In addition to the streets, we have added important amenities to the index: schools, town hall, post offices, places of worship, etc. Sorry for spamming, but it seems that MapOSMatic can do the job. I tried to generate Port-au-Prince, it came out 3.1 PDF. You can select any area you want and let MapOSMatic to render it into PDF.

Re: [OSM-talk] Fwd: Haiti Field requirement: Haiti OSM maps in PDF
Cool, Questions: 1 - is there the options to print on other types of paper i.e A4; 11x17. As well as the standard 8.5x11. (i think thats what the aid worker was asking) 2 - is there a 'map key' printed on the 1st page? Ie. The symbol of the tent means 'temporary camp' the thick - means 'highway' the grey heavy line means 'road not usable' symbol of a 'plus sign with circle around' means '1st aid area'. 3 - Having 'map key' which is available in the Oo Draw format, will allow us to make custom versions listing for different themes, where the png image can be droped in. (thats what im going to work on, or modify if someone else does before me.)

Hi excellent folks, I figure the PDF product will be very slow on small mobile devices, and still slow on normal PC's, but I feel that is no showstopper, as you gain all the detail information, on a disconnected cheap device. So I think if the osmarender stylesheet would be adapted slightly to put the caption of cities, suburbs, villages big enough to be readable on a low zoom level (entire map), then that map would be really easy to use I guess.

You can select any area you want and let MapOSMatic to render it into PDF. This is superb, incredibly fast (!!!) and exactly what I looked for, just that that I will need several PDF's, this is no issue. The Street index feature is just awesome. Thank you so much!!! :-) So please ignore the rest of this email, if you have priority tasks, consider the ticket as solved. ;-) I tried on MapOSMatic a bounding box of (having just one PDF would be nice) 18.041 = lat = 18.732 -72.71 = lon = -71.732 The web service says, that the bounding box is too large. Within this bounding box Port-au-Prince contains 95% of the data. So if PaP is possible to render, then technically that chosen large area does no big difference, as it is no uncompressed bitmap. I did another try with osmarender, as the 22 MByte OSM file I exported in parts via josm might be inconsistent somehow. So I took the larger whole-Haiti (80MByte, http://labs.geofabrik.de/haiti/2010-01-17-02-44.osm.bz2 ) file to let it render, but it took 2 Gigs of RAM and after 90 minutes the process died on my oldish machine. I use xsltproc - libxml2, no Java as XSLT backend (is this ok?) for osmarender. Also, if you have any ideas, to make the PDF creation process possible on a lowtech machine, thank you for your ideas.

Hi all, I did another try with osmarender, as the 22 MByte OSM file I exported in parts via josm might be inconsistent somehow. So I took the larger whole-Haiti (80MByte, http://labs.geofabrik.de/haiti/2010-01-17-02-44.osm.bz2 ) file to let it render, but it took 2 Gigs of RAM and after 90 minutes the process died on my oldish machine. I use xsltproc - libxml2, no Java as XSLT backend (is this ok?) for osmarender. I just ran osmarender on the haiti dump and generated a 24MB svg file with haiti in the z17 style. Should I upload it somewhere for you? Or should I rasterize it first? Should I use another stylefile? Also, if you have any ideas, to make the PDF creation process possible on a lowtech machine, thank you for your ideas. On the box I used, it took less then 2 minutes. But it has 48 GB of RAM and isn't lowtech at all. Patrick Petschge Kilian ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Should I use another stylefile? Hey thanks, man, this is highly appreciated! The stylesheet stuff could be good for public use, to facilitate orientation while zooming in. If you could compress that SVG with bzip2 or 7z, I would run inkscape on it, if this is possible: inkscape --export-area-drawing --export-pdf=quakeregion.pdf quakeregion.svg Have a look if the content of http://www.petschge.de/osm/haiti_osmarender/ is of any use to you.
