Hi Greg, If your data has labels then you should be able to have your map server generate maps with labels. I'm not sure I understand your question, but it seems to me that your issue's more related to your map server than OpenLayers. -- Eric _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
