[foss4g2014] Who wants to make a map?

[David Mangold]

All,

Here's the current version of the map. Unfortunately, I get tons of display
artifacts when I export the InkScape project to a vector format (see PDF
link below). Anyone have recommendations for resolving this? A Google
search suggests that it may be related to hidden flowed text elements but
none of the work-arounds I've found are helpful. I also exported as a
raster (PNG link below) which looks pretty good and should print okay. I
can increase the resolution if necessary.

Things I still need to do:

- Scale bars
- North arrow
- Destination indicators where transportation lines end ("TO WORLD FORESTRY
CENTER", for example, where the MAX line ends at the west edge of the main
map area).
- Add some missing street labels in West Portland

Thanks for all your feedback so far -- should have a complete draft over
the weekend.

Dave
