Sounds interesting. My input data consist, basically, in thousands of non-overlapping polygons. Actually, I have about 10 MIF files, that cover Spain, with this format. If I create a kind of "KML tree" structure, like the one created with gdal2tiles, it could work. And I wouldn't need to resample my data. That's what I lose when I convert from vector to raster: I need to resample the raster to get tiles for each zoom level. > Feels sad to render good > vectors into dull static tiles just for showing them on top of some base map. > I > suppose that with KML it would be also rather easy to let the end user adjust > colours etc. with the application and attach some useful attribute data. I know I can overlay a KML file in Google Maps. I suppose I could read this file (or files) from file system and automatically overlay it (them) > OpenLayers with transparent tiles are boring (but fast), your customers may > deserve something better. > Doesnt't depend on me. Anyway, they only need transparent tiles over a base map, to see a color-coded mobile phone signal coverage level (very good, good, regular). Is it a better way of showing this information?
