Why don't you also join the Amazon.com associates program apart from that of Amazon.co.uk, so that you can reach more people (and earn more funds)?
GpsGate
Franson have an affiliate scheme for their products. These could be very useful to OSM members and benefit the cause financially. I'm planning to buy GpsGate soon Steevc 14:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Linkages please
I presume this page should link to Tshirt competition. Nothing else does!.
p.s. why is this Merchandise page 'protected'? -- Harry Wood 23:59, 27 Apr 2006 (UTC)
- because it gets spammed like this talk page, perhaps Steve wants to unlock I don't know, I wouldn't. Anyway I mentioned the competion... Erik Johansson 15:33, 28 Apr 2006 (UTC)
- ...and a link to Fund Raising Ideas perhaps.
- There's no need to lock pages to prevent wiki spam, except as a very temporary measure -- Harry Wood 11:39, 1 Aug 2006 (BST)
Maps on Shower Curtains?
Has anyone thought of printing maps on shower curtains? I have occasionally found some "map of the world" shower curtains for sale in stores (these show political boundaries, and are interesting to look at, but aren't tremendously informative to me in an everyday sense). I would like to print a map of bicycle routes in my area, so when I shower off after a ride, I could review where I went. Shower curtains have the advantage of being large enough to display maps at a useful scale. Teratornis 18:52, 3 Jul 2006 (UTC)
- Might be a cool idea, but who does shower curtain printing services? -- Harry Wood 11:31, 1 Aug 2006 (BST)
London Poster (Oct 2005)
AFAIK this is no longer available 80n 15:37, 26 Aug 2006 (BST)
OpenStreetMap put together all the GPS data it had in London and made a stunning poster from it. It was a limited edition A0 (841mm × 1189mm) high quality black and white print, signed and numbered by Tom Carden and Steve Coast. See below for some snaps of the poster:
What does it show
Data submitted to OpenStreetMap of people walking, driving and cycling around London. So the thicker the lines, the more people travelled them.

How was this map generated? Did you use a special script to draw the lines or is the zoom level small enough to see the different points as lines? Cimm 16:14, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
