Have a look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Deploying_your_own_Slippy_Map ...and when/if you get it working, do come back and update the wiki page to make it clearer. We use the OpenLayers JavaScript library which is pretty powerful. You can also choose to go via Mapstraction, which provides a uniform API for most of the major mapping providers. As Andy says, we're not primarily a tile-hosting factory as yet, but no-one's going to object until your site attracts 8bn visitors per day. cheers Richard _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/newbies
