The best way in my opinion for street finder is drawing a line along the street, in the middle, and attach the name of the street to it in dbf after you can manage with your mapserver client to make a search by attribute for street name. In map file you can also use the option ANGLE AUTO and the labels with street names will be parallel to the street. I use pmapper and here you can find a demonstration of what I told with pmapper http://lazzate.homelinux.org/

I am new to map web servers, but have some HTML, C/C++ under my belt. My target is to develop a street finder and point finder intranet / internet site with ESRI shapefiles (one with streets, and one with points of interest)that I already have. I have been searching and found some usefull stuff, but am sending this email to find out if anyone can point me in some direction that would make life much easier.! :) Thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
