''Discussion moved from Village pump at 21:28, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)'' If we go to http://www.getamap.co.uk we can under their licence, we can have a maximum of 10 images of OS maps. I propose that we locate examples of such maps, illustrating at different scales, and upload them. :''Image produced from the Ordnance Survey [http://www.getamap.co.uk Get-a-map] service. Image reproduced with kind permission of [http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk Ordnance Survey] and [http://www.osni.gov.uk/ Ordnance Survey of Northern Ireland].'' I then propose to add the following: :''Note under this licence, we are limited to a maximum of 10 such images. Please do not upload images without discussion'' (and pointer to appropriate talk page) We can do this with an image copyright tag, say Problems with this are that it is not released under the GFDL, so it falls under "only used with permission". However, given the nature of such images, i.e. we are not going to get permission or alternate, I think this is okay. We need to try to maximise the potential of the ten, so identifying those which show particular features, e.g. churches, etc, and those of different scales. What do other people think of this? User:Duncharris|User talk:duncharris 20:31, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC) Did someone contact them and see if they would be willing to forgo the limit for this project? You might be suprised. User:Cavebear42 22:29, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC) ''End moved discussion'' ---- == UN maps == The maps from the UN are all copyrighted, not free. == Help needed to find latitude/longitude of some UK towns == Hi, I am in the process of adding a map showing the location of every town in a subcategory of :Category:Towns_in_England (and intend to then move on to Scottish/Welsh towns). I've had trouble finding the coordinates of some towns. Please could you take a look at User:Lupin/coords and help me to fill in the blanks? Many thanks. User:Lupin 14:46, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Would maps of the Moon, Mars, and other places we have explored also go here? Also, should there be a link to information about map projections and spheroid survey models? Do we have pages for the various projection types?
