@XauriEL If you want a street index alongside the map, this looks a great tool but not working for me at the moment: https://www.maposmatic.org/
MapOSMatic: Welcome!

@XauriEL theres a share button on openstreetmap.org which gives option to export as image & set the scale. For default map only I think. There's also a key for default map which could be copied. The map data is open data license and the default map I believe is CC share and share alike. So the map data and the way it is present are licenced separately. So you can draw a map in GIS or by tracing etc and that can be licensed however you want but the info/data on the map remains opendata licence.

New town's artist upset after council loses his work in Glenrothes

David Harding said Fife Council had a "cavalier attitude" to his work from the 60's and 70s.

Here’s a little something I put together this week: Pinhead Map Icons. I was tired of digging through a bunch of different sources to find good cartographic icons, so I compiled all the public domain sources I could find into one unified set. You’ll see familiar faces from the likes of iD, OSM Carto, and National Park Service maps, plus some newcomers. Let me know what you think!
