After a few months break from mapping I'm having dificulty converting .osm
files into mapinfo tables. Before the break I could import the .osm into qgis
then export is as needed but now Qgis wont do this.
With the old wiki I could find a section that listed and described a number of
tools for v

To sum up, fine grade mapping of transient climatic data can be very useful to
more than just professional but it isn't relevant on a street map.

a quick thank you to those mappers who have contributed a substantial amount of
roman features to the map in the last few weeks.
I have now got about 20% of my initial tracing of about 11,000 km of roman
