We could achieve those results by also installing a mapnik server on the t...@h server (although I don't know how well it would fare in that job, being a bit short on RAM for that) and use user controlled style sheets for that. I just have to say, that I have never done that (install mapnik) and would probably not be able to do it either (given my lack of time and experience). Given that we have a few TB of downloads each months, I would say the service is still appreciated by many. spaetz
