Also, there are current and archived discussions of imports, etc. on the imports@ list. Do have a look there for some great background. How about this as an alternative or side project? Why not load the complete NHD in a stand-alone rendering system, and render it as a transparent overly tile set? That would then be available for: - testing new NHD rendering styles - comparing NHD to existing rendering - as a helper layer for mappers to trace - etc. _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
