Styling might be included in .TAB files. You can get them to your map with OGR Connection and STYLEITEM "AUTO" option. Here is how to do it http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/vector_data/mapinfo And here is a great howto on symbol creation in mapserver http://ms.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/cartosymbols

I was thinking of the styling used for the maps.google.co.uk . The colour choices and detail level are perfect for my application. Can anyone send me examples of the styling and the map files or point me where I can learn more? When I mentioned this to the person I was buying the data off ( MapMechanics) they said that the styling was included in the shape files. I haven't heard of this before - is it is correct? Thanks, James
