A very nice merging of data! A slight presentation tweek you might consider is using something besides the expanding dots when the cursor is in the vicinity of the features. When there are several features close together, the expansion makes the dots run together and it's hard to pick one or see all of the ones that are close. Possibly using a color change (only) or a different color outline around the dots would be more effective. A black (or other color) outline would preserve the original Flickr/Widipedia information of the dot. -- Randy _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
