So, wait a year and all the computers are twice as powerful :-). It
really helps if it's in ruby as all the SQL is there, it's what's used
anyway, and I wont have to maintain seperate codebases.

There's no such thing, you'll see the streets.rbx instantiates a
Mercator class, this lives in dao. But it should be seperate. It's a
hack and should really use something like the Mercator java code in the
applet.
have fun,
