Re: [Maps-l] WikiMiniAtlas updates

I have recently spent quite a large amount of work on the WikiMiniAtlas map plugin and this has some connection to the OSM project, so I thought it might be of interest to the list. * I finished rendering a more detailed basemap, based on OpenStreetMap data last week. Accurate roads are now displayed at the higher zoomlevels (starting with highways, then secondary level roads, all the way down to residential streets and footpaths). * The WikiMiniAtlas now has a little globe in the bottom right corner that is always rotated to the current location you are looking at. KML and WIWOSM overlays are also displayed on the globe. Note that this feature needs a WebGL-capable browser (degrades gracefully). * WMA is now resizable * The WikiMiniAtlas is now active on Moon, Mars, Venus and Mercury coordinates as well, displaying the labels of the selected globe only (for example en.wp has >1100 moon coordinates, german wp has over 9000!). I have upgraded my database and scripts so that addition of further globe types will be easy. * As mentioned before, KML and WISOSM overlays are displayed and used for centering and zooming. I went through great trouble to calculate a _correct_ minimal bounding rectangle. * WIWOSM data can be used to overlay arbitrary objects for size comparison (the geometry is reprojected, so you can see for example how Greenland really compares to the Democratic republic of the Congo sizewise). (this will soon work for the new planets and the moon as well, I have to add a correction for the planets radius, but then you can see how many Rhode Islands would fit into the Gauss crater on the moon) Best, Dschwen
