Even I had deployed and run mapnik with free Open Street Map data for demonstrating TileCache with tgext.geo. I finally dropped it from the hosted demo at geo.turbogears.org due to limitations of free webfaction account. > 2. Load zipcode data from US GOV. I have done that already. Are you referring to this http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tigermap.html#ZIP ? > 3. Display the gis zipcode data using tg-geo ext onto the mapnik, (Had > some issues with that, as I was getting gis errors when trying to > display data)(not enough knowledge in the area, so I would need your > help in this) That should be possible once we get the data as shape file or into a postgis database. I think zip code data in shapefile format is available from http://data.geocomm.com/catalog/US/group217.html. So we start from there. > 4.

The styling part is better left independent of the framework IMHO as that is something very app specific. But you could implement it for your app and I could learn along the way ;) regards Sanjiv > > > Let me know what you think. > Lucas > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears Trunk" group.
