Just an update: I'm yet to do the conversion from SVG->PNG (imagemagick is compiling at the moment) but am generating SVG tiles. The look about a billion times better than the PNG ones I'm generating using GD, apart from the inability to control the background transparency (I'm no SVG guru, yet!)
These are suffering JPG artifacts, but will do for a very crude example: http://stuff.rovingrob.com/tiles_svg.jpg http://stuff.rovingrob.com/tiles_gd.jpg If you want some higher quality ones (beware, they're about 1MB each): http://stuff.rovingrob.com/tiles_svg.png http://stuff.rovingrob.com/tiles_png.png (GD) and for the sake of comparing a polygon overlayed on top of the tiles (another large file): http://stuff.rovingrob.com/poly_gd.png Will continue my quest for pretty tiles, and post back here with more info once If anyone else has suggestions, I'm happy to take them on board.
