Notes

Current translation effort (fr-en)

Some map-related tutorials in the process of translation from French into English at :

Drawing tutorials

Map tutorials

There is a list of existing map tutorials, further more are welcome ! French users have provide somes, and traductions into English would be welcome.

To obtain some SVG map background, the best place are the category SVG maps, and even more Location_maps (2008 standard) and their respective sub-pages. The Map conventions and toolbox are also providing 6 helpful conventions, some strongly supported by specific teams. The tutorials below follow the learning way of an hypothetical new map maker, more you go down, more that's complex... and beautiful ;)

Demonstration how an SVG map is build layer after layer:
1.Valley ; 2.Plain ; 3.Hill ; 4.Rivers ; 5.Troops ; 6.Moves ; 7.Texts ; 8.Localisator ; 9.Legend.
