map style question

[Fawcett, David]

Sorry Chris, 

I don't have the data, so I don't have an answer for you.  Can't you just look at the data and see which fields they are using (assuming that they haven't pre-processed the data).  

You may need to add fields to your data to classify the street types and provide 'pretty' names for labels.  

My primary reason for replying was to point out the very cool javascript zoom/scale widget that they are using!  Check it out!

David.

Sorry for the newcomer question, but I'd really
appreciate it if someone could help me out. I need to
know what fields to use in order to color streets as
done in the below NYC map. How are the main streets &
avenues being identified as distinct from regular
streets? Also, what field is being used for the label
(that gives full streetname)
Thanks so much!
Chris
