It could be done with a bit of help from HTML5's <canvas> element. Gotta study how those javascript rotation matrices and temporary canvases work, tough... Given that, the optimal solution would be local gnomonic projections, or UTM zones. If you use spherical mercator for rendering on a global basis, you'll hit a problem with the zoom levels. In other words, roads rendered at z17 near the equator are a lot more cramped than z17 roads in, say, Finland. -- ---------------------------------- Iván Sánchez Ortega <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> USERS ERROR.
