If your need is a map that has states in different colors, either as a standalone map or as a tileset, then using OSM is like throwing a library at a problem where you only need a pamplet of information. If you need a simple map, you could use QGis to make it. If you need a slippymap, you could use Tilemill, and for something else, maybe use GeoCommons. The state borders are a tiny bit of information in a sea; there are just easier/better ways to render a continental US map showing just the state borders than using the data from OSM. - Serge _______________________________________________ newbies mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies
