[RNLD List] mapping placenames

[Sylvain Loiseau]

Dear Nick,

- OpenStreetMap is also useful for creating the data (and having the data open-source).
- The annotated area can be exported from OpenStreetMap and imported in a GIS like QGIS for instance. You can finely set the label properties, select map background, etc.
But you must probably know that already.

By the way, I have been adding a lot of villages in OpenStreetMap for a poorly covered PNG area, and I was wondering whether OpenStreetMap couldn't be an interesting tool for the cumulative recording of geolinguistic data.

Best regards,
Sylvain
