The problem is that if you want something that looks like the OSM maps that's going to rely on a lot of things (mapnik et al) that aren't Java programs, so it really can't viably run on someone's computer without installing a lot of things. Even if it were just an applet having to run an applet automatically turns a lot of people away from the service. It's not *that* computationally expensive to do this sort of thing anyway:) _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
