Have a look at the javascript code and especially the KML files that come with http://garmin.na1400.info/routable.php for the transparent areas with different colours. Then have a look at http://yournavigation.org for an application that uses markers in OpenLayers. There's also the OpenLayers documentation/examples and the OpenLayers page in the wiki: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenLayers _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
