Thanks and no problem. I have done a few more improvements to the San Diego map:
Major Freeways, Minor Freeways, on/off ramps, Highways, Primary surface Streets, and
Secondary Surface are all different colors. I have also adjusted the scale at which
they become visible and added the query feature to them. It looks as though
MapServer will do everything we need aside from the routing, but routing should be a
separate package anyway, so that works out just fine. Now all we need to do is find
some good, inexpensive map data that also includes one-way street data (which
streets are one-way and which direction they go).
