If you don't mind running the code locally yourself*, my system does this sort of thing and more ( new screenshot: http://humanleg.org.uk/code/oslmusicalchairs/oslmcscreen_20100615.png , Description of algorithm: http://humanleg.org.uk/code/oslmusicalchairs/ ). Code available at http://bitbucket.org/ris/oslmusicalchairs/ . robert. * I am still working on getting a public instance hosted. dev.openstreetmap.org doesn't do python/WSGI as of yet. _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
