Cheers Andy, Thomas Seems just as well that I plan to use my own OsmaRenderer. Always intended to learn about XSLT so this is as good a reason as any. I'll look for Amenity : School and see what it does that is different from a point.
If I'm brave I might try MapNik but it appears to be for Linux (I'm WinXP). Last time I tried there was a Windows binary but with no instructions on how to get it to work - I got stuck. Has anyone any experience with Win MapNik? So there is a Forum - don't know how I missed it. Doesn't seem to get used much though.
