That's not what he said, though. He said "combine the two into one dataset." And I don't see how you're going to make the tiles without doing this. Some of them will overlap. And even if they don't overlap, once you combine them into a single map you've got a problem. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
