Talk:Wom Brook

The map
I've added miles to the map by going back to the original vector graphic, editing it and re-exporting. Unfortunately, if you do work like this in a bit-map editor, you cannot easily get the fonts right, find it much harder to scale properly, and tend to compromise the layout generally. I have put a SVG version on the map on Wikimedia. This is the best place to start working on it if anyone wants to do so. I haven't used it in the Wom Brook entry for two reasons:
 * 1. It doesn't look as I intended: the text has wandered about from my Inkscape version
 * 2. The rendering in Wikipedia is awful unless you use particular fixed image sizes, which are not necessarily the ones you want to use on the page.

I have provided metric and Imperial on some of my other maps, as well as this one. I can't see any reason for not having miles, as US readers are mainly familiar with them, although UK official mapping has used metric internally and for grid references since the 1930's, and on consumer map scales since the 1970's.Sjwells53 (talk) 14:32, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
