Well - if either Santiago or you send me a hi-rez version of that
background map - then I can automate the layering with ease; allowing for
zoom in/panning until that background map runs out of pixels.

still requires an efford :-)

Well; again; what we do in asemantics.com is push a fair chunk of info

:-) You'd almost want to go back on a push based 'messaging' service;
where the message could be an RDF record (or chunk of Dublin Core) with a
pgp signature; try
dig mobile.webweaving.org LOC
dig mobile.webweaving.org ANY
for some of those we use in house (height is a factor 100 off by the way).
