Hi all, Wondered if anyone has ever put effort into producing a street directory from OSM data. For those in places where they're not common, a street directory is a bound book with numbered maps covering a city, at various scales. On the borders of each page are indications to the map that joins it (eg, "Joins map 53"). There are typically overview maps at the front, covering the whole city in two pages, and some touring maps at the end, covering the state or country, at very low detail. Sometimes there are special pages covering certain parts of the city at extra high zoom, like the CBD, universities, etc. Different formats suit different purposes: I have a Melway (roughly A4) and a much smaller UBD which can be held open in one hand (and consequently has hundreds of pages).
Anyway it seemed like there would be some interesting technical challenges in producing such a thing, and making software to allow anyone to do this for their own city. Has anyone had a go?
