Hi folks,
just to add a little bit of brain food. I'm involved with the
georeferencing / georectification side of things with the Wikimaps project
with Wikimedia Commons with Susanna Anas as mentioned earlier. We're using
a stripped down version of the open source mapwarper software which
Hi All,
Thanks for those that have helped so far. I am now in contact with a OSM
sys admin to get these maps up on a tile server (for subsequent use in the
OSM editors).
Out of interest, OSM servers are able to create tiles on the fly as long
as it is provided a raster image that is geocoded.
The answer is it isn't really done ;-)
As far as I can tell Commons currently has no documented way of
embedding anything other than a single coordinate pair for an image,
which is obviously okay for photos but pretty unhelpful for maps (or
indeed aerial/satellite imagery). This is a pity, as

Hi Steven,
The short answer is not quite sure - I bodged these together from a
couple of CSV metadata sheets. I think they've been exported from
something else to get to this stage but I don't have access to that
(though I could ask). Do you have an example of the kind of
metadata/formatting you

Are the configuration files available already somewhere or is there a plan
to make them available so users of the maps could just load the maps rather
than having to align themselves with the given

I've never heard of MAPC2MAPC but it looks great. I posted a comment [1]

p.s. Is there a Linux equivalent of MAPC2MAPC?
qgis2 ?
I still need to actually get it to create an alignment, but it displays the
material I do have nicely, so is anybody using this for doing the referencing?

Would it e possible for someone to stitch all these into one layer for

Hi Andy,
There is a whole bunch of OS Town Plans available on the National Library
of Scotland website. They are already georectified and served up as tiles
(ready for use in OSM editors). I am in the early stages of getting these
added to iD and JOSM as a series of separate layers.
I note that

I believe, as well, that these are the original drafter's drawings: not

Thanks for the ad, Andy ;-)
These maps are from a British Library collection, which has previously
been online in various forms, so it's not completely new - but
hopefully this is a more accessible format.
There's a total of around 2-300 of these - the exact number varies
depending on whether

First Richard S, now you - do we have a lot of closet OSMappers in
WikimedaUK, or are you just stalking me? ;-)
