[OSGeo Africa] Topographic map with Road Numbers

[Aslam Parker]

Hi

Response from NGI

The examples falls on two of our 250K maps: 2528 Pretoria and 2628 East Rand.
I made comparisons on both and it is clear that the attachments are not from our standard 250K’s. I also looked at previous editions. The shapes of features are quite different as generalisation gave different results.
The attached maps look more like a Gauteng Dep. of Roads project,….? Or even an AA product.

These maps look like those produced by the Gauteng Roads Department/GauTrans/?

I believe Pieter is well aware where to get the NGI topo maps. His examples have (non-standard) road numbers “on top of” the standard maps. I doubt it was made by NGI. So unless there is more detail in the marginalia of the maps, I don’t think it will be easy to find out who actually made those particular maps.

I cant even figure out which version of the standard maps they used as backdrop, it does not match any of the versions I have. It does match the style of something from the 1990s.

Walter

NGI Mowbray Cape Town.
Mark McClaughlan might still be the guy to talk to.
Otherwise see if sales desk will give you an eco mosaic of the 1:50k series.

Hi Colleagues,

I have a hardcopy map and would like to know who produced it.
It looks like a standard 1:250 000 topo sheet but with road numbers on it. (See attached pictures).

Can anyone help and put me in touch with the creators of this map please?

Kind regards,
Pieter Holtzhausen
