All, I'm done with the cartography, I think.
Anyone see any problems with it that are obvious? Again, this is only the road network, and it's only for a local dataset. http://gis.ci.stpaul.mn.us/gis/gismo_public/html/?mapbook=/datasets/CONFIGS/SAINT_PAUL/PUBLIC_WORKS/MAPBOOKS/TS/gismo3_test_public.xml# Unless someone comes up with an errors somewhere, I think I may post this tomorrow sometime. It still needs some work and I'll be adding to the comments the rest of the week. I think I'll version the releases until I get to something stable, but I think it's usable as is already, and I got a couple of requests for it already. I'm also planning on adding in the TIGER lines to this test interface, I only got out as far as six steps away from the world view in Google. I'll finish it off with the TIGER data. ------- Some stuff that came up this week, I've done all the thresholding based on FEET as the units of measure, and our data is in a local County coordinate system. Anyone have an idea for a good neutral coordinate system to use for the TIGER line dataset that would be the most flexible for folks? Another item I wondered about, would it help to separate up the MAPFILE for clarity into sections and use the INCLUDE parameter? This should make it a lot easier to follow some of the cartography settings, but maybe I'm making too much of it. I was wondering if this might be some sort of performance hit as well, I doubt it though. I'm also planning on doing some performance tuning, and separate up some of the TIGER data into road classes for performance reasons. I'm doing this for a couple of reasons, but the community gets to reap the results, so if there is interest, I'll keep going with the intention of publishing the TIGER data in a performance enhanced version. Otherwise, I'll just move onto the Railroad, Parks, and water layers to complete the look. If anyone wants to help out after taking a look at the thresholding I already have set up in the MapFile, it would be appreciated, we can pull all these layers together into a single package for distribution.
