Revision as of 16:29, 2 October 2009

Motivation

The OSGeo Cartographic Library and all software projects obviously need a free map symbol set.

Available Material

  • GpsDrive and OpenStreetMap maintain a repository of c. hundreds of Point Of Interest (POI) rasterized and SVG symbol icons under a permissive OSS license. Things like "banks" and "hospitals" are very well covered.
see http://www.gpsdrive.de/development/map-icons/overview.en.shtml
