I managed to download and compile the latest code Ian has in the repository. It throws up a warning or two about not finding extra libraries, but seems to be working fine.<br>just change the run.bat to referance this file (0.3 instead of 0.2) and let me (and Ian) know how it works for you.<br>

Thanks,<br>
good to know that you got the same result from the java script.<br>
<br>
For this effort, I'm not to concerned about roads (its not part of the<br>
canvec data import)<br>
<br>
i probably might have to get ibuntu installed, and start learning that.<br>
<br>
-though i dont want to give up the effort to make this java script work.<br>
Is there a technical reason why it wont work?<br>
Does it HAVE to get processed in postGIS? (i have to learn what that means :-)<br>
<br>
thanks for the help,<br>
Sam<br>
