Sure, the tiler does seem to be working well. The dataset writers
leave a lot to be desired. They just plain fail.

I sent it yesterday to Drew (my sales person) and his assistant. I
still haven't heard anything.

It's not just the SWF writer. The shape writer messed up too. The
DXF writer seemed to work and the GML writer is pretty solid. This
tells me that I'm doing things correctly but the writers for the
formats that I need have some serious problems.

I did that. It is very, very basic.

I've been through them too. They are sales tools, not really
tutorials at all.

I'm honestly a little shocked by this experience. Maybe I'm just
coming from a much different place and I'm not a normal GIS type of
person. I just got the GlobalMap product demo and it did a fine job
of tiling my data - and it costs $249. Of course, their product
does a lot less but at least it worked.
