Hello all,
To anyone who joined since there was last any traffic on this list (!)
and anyone else, just thought I'd drop a note to let you know about a
new addition to the Oxford Guide (although it has been there in a
similar form for a while).
Most of you will hopefully be aware that OpenGuides will automatically
produce a Google Maps map of the node, on node pages, if there is
geographical information available, and additionally that you can plot
all the (geo-enabled) nodes on a map at
http://oxford.openguides.org/wiki/?action=index;format=map
This used to just be Google maps, but now the default view is from
http://www.openstreetmap.org/ which has fairly good coverage of Oxford
(thanks to a handful of us who have been surveying over the past two
years).
I'm pleased to be able to offer this as a demonstration of the mapping
data that it's possible to generate with a bit of community effort.
Anyone who's lurking on here, do say hello - it's good to hear from our
contributors!
Cheers,
Dominic.
