Hi,
as some of you probably already have seen/read/tested, we 're getting the
current GpsDrive release forward.
But as always there are some things which need some attention. This time I'm
calling for some artists. We need YOU to create icons for our new POI
(PointOfInterest) System. As you can see there are already a lot of icons
collected and/or drawn. If you want to get a little overview, you can have a
look at:
http://www.gpsdrive.de/development/map-icons.shtml
Your task is to fill in and add new icons to one (or all) icon schemes.
For the artists inside the GpsDrive community: Just start drawing shiny new
License conform icons.
Even for those of us not so talented in drawing it is not too hard.
All you need is a good (BSD-, PD-, GPL-, CC-licensed or similar) icon source.
One example would be :
http://openclipart.org/
on debian for example:
apt-get install openclipart.*
And then you reduce/combine existing ones to new icons suitable for
Navigation.
For a description on how to name the new icons please have a look here:
http://svn.gpsdrive.cc/gpsdrive/trunk/data/README.icons
Would be great to read from you and get thousands of new useful Map-Icons.
