(My interest in that had been that as a vector construct, these wd lend themselves to high compression for storage purposes.)<br><br>A number of my users object to Google's TOU, and others require operation sans internet connectivity. I'd like to find a mapping product/set that will allow for a local-only, server-based operation.<br><br>What I'm looking for is a set of maps on cd's or any other compact medium, zoom levels 8 to 14, with an API that will support icon and text placement. Ideally, open source, but that may not be available at this writing.<br><br>While I really like the idea of OSM/OL - I've done some work with those with good results - but a download of the tile set for my county took around 55 hours, with a 1-second wait between files in order to reduce hammering them. Times like that can be a deal-breaker for some users. <br><br>I've been in contact with the mapquest people hoping that they had plans to publish OSM tile sets on removeable/portable media, but, sadly, no.<br><br>I'm monitoring the OSM site for any developments surfacing there, but I'll appreciate *any* suggestions that might meet the above constraints. Thanks again, all.<br><br>AS<br><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 12:36 AM, Brian Webster <<a href="mailto:bwebster@wirelessmapping.com" target="_blank">bwebster@wirelessmapping.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Tiger is going to limit you</span> ...<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
