Hi Eric Unfortunately I am actually using UK Ordnanace Survey OpenSpace mapping system (http://openspace.ordnancesurvey.co.uk) which is based on OpenLayers 2.5. Probably I should just stick with what I have got (which works ok) and move to the later technique when OpenSpace upgrades. I had not previously found the examples (though I see now that they are referenced on the OpenLayers front page). I had been wading through the documentation which is a trifle heavy going. Even though the examples may assume the latest version of OpenLayers I can see that they will be very useful. Thanks for your help Colin _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
