If I had to rewrite the parts of OL I don't like I would end up rewriting everything (not to mention how enormous it is in terms of amount of code). Not that there's something really bad about it, it's just has a different vision from mine: development approach, design choices, API, set of features, etc. I guess I need to write a big detailed post about reasons that convinced me to write a library from scratch when I could just use OL - but believe me, they were quite significant. But I'd love to contribute to Polymaps and Modest Maps JS libraries in future - I like them a lot. :) -- Vladimir Agafonkin Front-End Architect, CloudMade +380 93 745 44 61
