I ended up making a simple mapnik style sheet with just town names and
post codes.

This has made spotting errors really easy, although I'm stumped as to
why some post codes aren't being rendered, like this area:

OpenLayers has nice support for vectors. It supports many formats, you 
can easily add WKT geometries for example. This is the best way to go if 
you want to add simple or dynamic overlays.
The postcode finder you mentioned uses a tiled layer. Such a layer can 
be rendered using Mapnik. I have a nice example in [1]: Google Hybrid 
like, but with OSM data on top of their aerial images (unfortunately my 
site is Dutch, but it shows the idea).


Cheers,
Steven

Oh I'm sorry I missread your mail..
I thought you wanted to have hill-shading for your map ;)

As far as I understand you, take a look on openlayers [0]
As shown on [1] it supports drawing vector-data on maps. As I don't have 
any special knowledge about the usage, I can't help you any further, but 
I'm sure so. here will.

[OSM-dev] How do I do make shaded area overlays with openlayers or something similar?

2009-09-22 Thread John Smith
This site shows aussie postcodes over the top of a base layer:

http://www.aus-emaps.com/postcode_finder.php

How would I do something similar for postcodes in the OSM DB already,
and showing them as a shaded area, and 2 different colours if they've
been reviewed or not.

Something like this maybe:

http://www.censusdata.abs.gov.au/ABSNavigation/ImageServer?id=map,Census,2006,POA4480
