Re: [Talk-GB] Ways to get a big image of the world?
Hello, Have you looked at using QGIS and the OpenLayers plugin. You should be able to use the OpenStreetMap layer and create a new Composer of any size you like. QGIS used to not like using Tile sources to create print outs but it did just work with an internal tile server, it did give a warning but then worked. I can't test with the actual OpenLayers sources at the moment due to being behind a restricted corporate firewall. I could test if it works tonight, if others on here don't confirm it works before then. regards, Steven On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 9:48 AM, Filip Chirita Rares Cristian chirita.ra...@gmail.com wrote: Hi everyone, Long time no talk.

Re: [Talk-GB] Ways to get a big image of the world?
Hi, Steven, thank you for the suggestion. I'm installing QGIS now but I've never used it before. Marc, yes. I mentioned that page in my initial email. I can't seem to get Bigmap to work :( Regards, Rares On Mon, Jul 6, 2015 at 2:57 PM, Marc Gemis marc.ge...@gmail.com wrote: Did you look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_on_Paper ?
