I'm trying to figure out how to do a similar thing with post codes, for the moment I've got a very basic mapnik style sheet that just produces town names, country borders and shaded postcode areas. http://maps.bigtincan.com/?z=7&ll=-33.52829,148.04077&layer=00B000000FF OpenLayers can do semi-transparent layers over the top of a base layer, so I'll probably be going down that path too: http://sautter.com/map/?zoom=7&lat=-32.52829&lon=148.04077&layers=00B000TFFFFF _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
