I'm not really sure what you mean in above. I'm not that knowledgeable yet in technical details of map layers you use at openstreetmap.org. Right now I just want to display the openstreetmap.org tiles on my map and be able to zoom in etc.... then.... Here is what I want to achieve but with openstreetmaps.org underneath it. http://geo.turbogears.org/factbook/ I still can't find an example of openstreet layers that uses google style URL mapping (aka mapnik style)?
