It's also good to be able to perform vector based tidying up tweaks in Inkscape prior to uploading. This is the preferred approach on Wikipedia for images which are essentially vector based. Wikipedia allows direct upload of SVG files. You might want to try and edit the svg-file using your favourite text-editor. Just open it to view, and rightclick to see the svg-source.

There's also a tutorial on how to generate SVGs in Maperitive: A sample SVGZ map of the centre of Dublin: ( Note: you cannot open it in browser, use Inkscape or Illustrator instead). It can render SVG in two modes: Inkscape mode and Adobe Illustrator mode (since Illustrator requires certain modifications to be able to properly import SVGs). It separates map features into SVG layers, takes care of not duplicating shapes and also renders text as normal letters (and not as graphic paths like Mapnik does). Maperitive can produce high quality (and small-size) SVG rendering.This is particularly true of text on the roads, where each letter is a separate text element (twice) Maps are quite complicated, but Mapnik tends to create lots of little objects where one big object could have been used. It also means you may be asking for a complex area of the map (pick one of the following better approaches) This is Mapnik rendering to a cairo surface ( ) The result is often rather bloated over-complicated SVG file. You can examine the Server Load Statistics to find a good time to create an SVG. Often this will give an error "The load average on the server is too high at the moment" because the server will not produce an SVG when the server load is above 25. Position the map where you want it, or tick 'set custom dimensions' for better control of that.
