I see that 800*600 isn't going to work on 150*100. I had webdesign in mind for desktop screens. Designing websites is pretty difficult for resolutions from 800*600 to 1600*1200. With SVG that problem is gone. Not if you are using 150*100 off course. I'm currently developing on PDA's and those screens are really small :) . >this is not the issue. 5 lines of code or 1200 don't harm the viewer. >look at what the Google Maps API passes to the browser. i think there is >a commitment towards the user of the map. if there is a possibility to >let them have a better user experience, then it's not nice if one just >cancels those possibilities. when you put an mapping system together, >the client side scripting is the easiest/cheapes anyway, even if it >produces a lot of code. Yes, it will not harm the viewer. But when I can write something in 10 lines, I won't use another method which takes 50 lines. Better for low-bandwidth connections and the program code will be easier to maintain. are we at 6) ? :) => Have you ever used rotation of a map? I will try this for the pda application when I turn the map according to the walking direction of the user. Seems like a rotate on the map element will do the trick? 7) I've been looking for a way to change the styles of a map (or user interface) on the fly. CSS doesn't work because I can't change the link to the CSS-file. Do you know any methods for this? One example is providing a night and a day map. >andré Jeroen Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htm ------------------------ Yahoo!
