I'm unsure about the technical details, but in general you would need a apache with mod_tile [0] / renderd / mapnik [1] to render your street-tiles with transparent background. Your Areal photos could (should?) be supplied by a WMS-Server (?) Both would be bundled together with OpenLayers [2]. As they also support vector drawings from external sources (GML, KML, etc.) I would suggest to put the field-outlines in here. Especially transparent street-tiles would be very cool to share to the community. If I'ts not possible to publish the tiles you may want to publish the styles-file & configurations you used to generate them to the wiki. Good Look with your Project, Peter [0] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mod_tile [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mapnik [2] http://openlayers.org/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
