Hi All, I've been working for a while on a system[1] that lets people log "issues" or "problem reports" geographically. A reporter can log the issue as having a point, line or polygon geometry.
The problem that I'm facing is how to best show a map of issues for a given region, e.g. a town. They come in all shapes and sizes, often overlapping, and that causes an unintelligible mess[2]. Any geowankers know of any sites that show multiple overlapping features in a useful fashion? Any guides to how to approach the problem? So far we've put in place to order by size (biggest at the back, of course), make fills translucent (but it still sucks if too many overlap), ignore polygons that entirely encompass the bbox - all certainly worth doing, but it's a long way from something to be proud of.
