Hi Michael, Sounds good - I will have a look at your code. How do you propose deal with expiring the tiles when the underlying data changes? Also, please will you link to your source code repository from your osm wiki page so we can find it easily. Thanks! Graham. -- Graham Jones

Hi Michael, The project sounds interesting. I'm curious to hear more of your thoughts on dealing with cross-tile polygons. I've put together my own personal thoughts on this topic at: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/VectorTilingProposal This just covers the basics. The actual path

So during this stage we'll also develop a small prototype server that serves tiled and .osm files that are tiled and filtered per zoom level. The assumptions there look similar to yours. We'll identify the most needed changes (to our client code or the temporary .osm file format

* Problem: Since we are speaking about vector tiling it's unavoidable that polygons are clipped, which makes me wonder on how the client is informed and how he should deal with this? I'm not sure if I have a complete answer for that yet. Do you have any suggestions? One possibility is to do

You already matched my interests. Client side (interactive) rendering, with json data format. For low zoom levels with reduced data (only coastline, borders, rivers, motorways) - nearly the data you see in current map tiles. For higher zoom levels you may divide the data into different data
