I would recommend that you use the data from Openstreetmaps.org If you follow their wiki instructions for setting up mapnik, you will be 75% there. The default style file will probably need hacking as it is currently setup for rendering tiles for a slipy map. Only very basic Python and XML hacking is required to do some varied stuff. -- Philip Stubbs _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
