I made the mistake of ignoring my OSM-talk mail for a few days, I'm really happy to see that people are thinking of ways to work with Walking Papers. I've been building up some steam to work on another set of change requests, now's the time to ask if you have a pet feature you'd like to see

The ability to print to larger sizes than A4, A3 would be nice because you can get a group of people around and gather local knowledge. Ability to add a scaled grid. So I can walk down a road and map square by square. Jack Stringer ___ talk mailing
