Your balloon program for kids sounds awesome. I presume that you want tiles to preload on your mobile devices? That sort of bulk tile downloading is, as Serge said, the sort of thing that will get you blocked. Even for a good cause like yours. I'm sure that you'll find a Good Samaritan who will offer to generate these tiles for you. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
