Subject: Re: Street maps in SVG format... Date: Monday 17 April 2006 23:51 From: "b22gate" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Depending on where you are you might find that openstreetmap.org has some mapping data for where you live. There is an SVG renderer for OSM if that is what you ultimately need. If there is no data for your area you could always upload some GPS tracks and create whatever you need. OSM is licensed under CC-BY-CA so you can use it commercially providing you give attribution and share any derivative works. --- In svg-developers@yahoogroups.com, "Andreas Neumann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > you'd probably get the data in GIS format, which can be converted to SVG format. > A typical exchange format for GIS is ESRI shapefile or GML.
