Hello everybody this is my first post here! I really like idea of open map project. I hope that I will help somehow.
I’m graphical designer and I would like to print some maps that I would customize. I want to print big, like 2:3 meters. The best would be if there is way of extracting vector maps, bit maps are not so good for me because I want to change colors, thickness of lines, print big.
So ideal tool would look like this:
-I select area from openstreetmap.org, let say London city.
-I can chose how much details I want to see, and witch. (it’s also OK if I can get all the details, and then after I can delete what I don’t need)
-I extract map in some vector file that is readable by InkScape or Adobe Illustrator. (.svg or .ai)
Bear in mind that I never used any of map editors, except web editor on openstreetmap.org, so plese be as specific as possible.
I hope that I don’t ask to many and hard questions. Thanks in advance!
