Imma warm this thread up. No news with finnish-topomaps sadly!

I found this:

https://projects.forum.nokia.com/ovi.../documentation

Could someone make Mappero use tiles from ovi maps? That could be useful... Not anywhere near the usability of NLS map data, but another tile renderer service nonetheless: https://projects.forum.nokia.com/ovi.../wiki/examples look usable. I'm not too familiar with the Mappero method of requesting tiles... A friendly person could share a suitable method maybe?

In the future, it would be nice to have the ovi map data merged with the digital format available today (for purchase)... like http://www.paikkatietoikkuna.fi - all NLS data is available in vector format alrady, Nokia could purchase the extra data (maybe already has? =) to make an alternative map data source available (for all ovi maps clients), offering similar info as available from NLS in the form of those (old) topomaps. I've seen some garmin handheld GPS devices with vector data on them, they're not too bad looking.
