Hi, the source high-res imagery of the terrain is about 4degx4deg and blue marble data for the rest of the globe. The things they want to overlay are simple lines and filled polygons (so render to texture/textures should be OK), but can now extend over say 500kmx500km. So when I use an overlaynode and they zoom in quite close to the terrain, e.g. the lines in my original generated texture become massively wide.
