This is fantastic. It instantly shows to people the difference between us and the other on-line maps. The PDF mode is especially great as it means anyone can see and print a vector map instantly. I think it deserves a proper press release from the foundation. Longer term, it would be great if the PDF version let you select a paper size and orientation and made the map whatever scale was needed to fit it. As someone else said, it would be good if /this/ full page map had attribution etc. on it, but I wouldn't put the attribution on other formats of map - they are for building on and inclduing into larger documents, and the copyright needs to be added as appropriate to those documents. It's probably possible to add the copyright after the PDF has been made using ghostscript or something similar, if it's not easy to get Mapnik to add it. A quick interface request: Can we put PDF at the top of the list, as it's the most universally understood vector format, followed by SVG, then Postscript, then leave the raster formats (PNG and especially JPEG) at the bottom. We don't want people to download screen resolution maps, print them and say that on-line maps aren't as good as real paper ones just because they are first on the list. Will the postscript output work as an EPS? If so, could we call it EPS as that's a filetype graphic designer types will recognise. But again: Nice work!!!
