An easy software to make street/road maps?

<< < (2/4) > >>

mouser:
one of the programs like SmartDraw or Visio, etc. may have a bunch of road/map marker type things that could help the task.

yksyks:
Probably not what you need, but just for the case have a look at OpenStreetMap.

anyone know anything about their export options ?
OpenStreetMap XML Data
Mapnik Image
Osmarender ImageMapnik itself seems to be aimed at developers 
Mapnik is a Free Toolkit for developing mapping applications.

Osmarender:
Osmarender is a rule-based rendering tool for generating SVG images of OSM data.

sounds like both could be vector applications or at least could be used to produce usable vector drawings . .

KiTTy:
tomos thank you for the tips :) and the links. Its not me that will be actually making the map so I'll pass this info on and let you know if it used. Mapnik sounds promising and Osmarender worth a try. Thank you again!
mouser I'll look into those as well, thank you
yksyks thank you, fun find!

 :P

Not to somewhat hijack this thread, but I just tried to use Google Map Buddy and noticed that google maps no longer searches for me.  It doesnt work in IE 7, Firefox 3, or Opera 10 either.... does this mean I have problems with java or some other error??  Any ideas?  I did a little looking, but most people seem to have problems in only one browser, not three!
