Very impressive looking results. Can you please share your mapfile? <br><br>Many thanks!<br><br>Joe Bussell<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Dec 31, 2007 11:04 AM, Bob Basques <<a href="mailto:Bob.Basques@ci.stpaul.mn.us">

<div>I'm making good progress on my Google-ish cartography mapfile creation, see the attached links. I will be publishing it to the GeoMoose site as a mapfile once it's ready. It should be portable to use against the Census tiger centerlines as well, actually it should be fairly easy to apply to any centerline data set with the correct classifications available. I'm using a local data set though, so there are likely to be some differences. If anyone has a tiger data set available somewhere to try it out on, I would be interested in those results. I'm trying to add Documentation as I go in the MapFile as well.

<div>Why am I doing this, actually I'm just trying to get a jumping off point, where I can take this generic "Google-ish" version of a MapFile, and re-theme for my own uses, problably </div>

<div>There are still some little things like the centering of the numbers in the highway shield, as in they moved a pixel or two to the left in the AGG output. Also, Google seems to use some sort of ADT (Traffic Counts) for it's classification of the roads, so I'll need to research that a bit I think. Some of the collectors are not highlighted in yellow like those in the Google output. I also took some liberty with their Interstate Shields and made them bigger.
