[Xastir] Topo Maps.

[John Ronan]

Hi,

Finally I get let up for a breath!

I spent last night messing with shapefile topo maps, specifically I used the process here (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Contours) to generate 10m,50m,100m topo data.  

I started a while back doing dbfawks for the OSM data itself so I must get back to that, but also I now have this new data source.  I was wondering
a) if anyone else has already done dbfawk's for this srtm data to make it 'pretty'. 
b) also is 10m,50m,100m overkill?
c) Anyone have a tried and tested method of 'chopping' off parts (I've some of Scotland in my map).

Cheers
de John
