[OSM-talk] British Antarctic Territories
An unmapped area in OSM currently is the Antarctic Peninsular south of Argentina. Thanks to the National Library of Australia I have a number of mostly out of copyright (or nearly so) British Ordnance Survey Maps for the British Antarctic Territories . The full list of them can be found here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:OS_Misc_maps.pdf An example for Deception Island: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:OS_DeceptionIsland1960.png If anyone is interested in this area let me know and I'll include getting the maps scanned when I'm done others. Most of the maps will have limited positional accuracy because the surveying was mostly done by various Antarctic survey traverses, they do however have plenty of place/natural feature names that will be useful. Place Names should be those as agreed by the Antarctic Place-names Committee (APC). Cheers Andy ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
Re: [OSM-talk] British Antarctic Territories
A while back I downloaded some 7000 full resolution scans from the NLA, mostly public domain. e.g. like this one http://nla.gov.au/nla.map-rm4049. I've been using them here and there for OSM where I tag with source_ref(:.+)?=http://nla.gov.au/* However I had a quick look by couldn't find yours among these. They should be a nice addition!
