Extracting the bounding boxes seems like exactly the way to go. I've seen the output of gdal_info and that seems quite straightforward. How do I then use that in the way you have implied? We used gdal_translate with ECW support to extract the images to Geotiffs. The images increased in size dramatically - 27.6Mb to 1.2Gb in one case. I don't want to load a layer that big in size if I can avoid it. [snip] Yup. In the world of geo, you need to use an array of tools, not a magical one-size-fits-all tool. IMHO, one of your best bets is tilemill. You can load up some OSM extract, apply the OSM bright style, put some raster data on top (maybe convert those ECWs to another format to do so), then overlay your speed/accident data in another layer. Unfortunately the overlay layers will be dynamic requests, and probably wouldn't be suitable for a desktop application. Eg: We generate a report with X incidents. Each incident has a link to the mapserver that shows the data.
