[OSM-talk] ebook maps
Hello, all possibilities to render maps as ebooks (or for print) that I found were relatively limited (only raster images and/or limited number of pages). So I tried something new: https://technik-stinkt.de/~hendrik/maps/ What do you think? cheers Hendrik ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

But before I download a 245MB PDF file: will Adobe Acrobat or Foxit PDFreader load and display something like that without problems? The most difficult PDF I have is a 4MB file of the french railroad network (official RRF file), and a redraw after zooming or panning takes a looong time. The inital draw is 20 seconds alone. And does 3.4MB for only the coastline and the one major road not seem a bit excessive? I think the data should be a bit simplified before you make a PDF out of it. But again: the idea as such is good. Regards, Maarten ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Yes, it works :-D. Tested on ebook readers, which are wy slower compared to a laptop. There should be no need to zoom, just go to the page with the next higher zoom level. And does 3.4MB for only the coastline and the one major road not seem a bit excessive? I think the data should be a bit simplified before you make a PDF out of it. There is a bit of simplification (not enough). For what I want (really big maps) it doesn't matter that much because the higher zoom levels take all the space anyways. The small ones are just a demo if you don't want to download the big one. But again: the idea as such is good.

So I tried something new: https://technik-stinkt.de/~hendrik/maps/ What do you think? Hi Hendrik, This is a good idea, but I`m not able to see any index or glossary in your example pdf. The medium example is composed of about 2500 pages, how can I know on which page to go to find the location I need ? On map book there are also often some marks on page sides/corners to indicate the page number we have to go if we want to have left/right/up/down part of the map. Could you add such information ( if it could be in form of hyperlink it would be nice )? Some pages are also completely grey. could you eliminate them from the book ?

Hi Hendrik, This is a good idea, but I`m not able to see any index or glossary in your example pdf. The medium example is composed of about 2500 pages, how can I know on which page to go to find the location I need ? The pdf basically represents a zoomable map without index. In the corners of every page are the page numbers of the next zoom level for the respective quadrant. At the endpoints of the cross that is visible at every page, there are the page numbers for north/south/... A Hyperlink would be nice, but I haven't yet found a method to embed them in the pdf with the tools I use. On map book there are also often some marks on page sides/corners to indicate the page number we have to go if we want to have left/right/up/down part of the map.
