[OSM-talk] Freemap in Mercator

[Steve Chilton]

Looking good.
What determines the bounding box of the display?
It seems counter-intuitive to have a long thin portrait working area and
a load of white space between the map area and the
key/legend/explanation. Most display devices are in landscape mode.
Would it be possible to consider display being landscape by default?
NB: I also get a runtine error each time I re-scale: line 44 Error:
object doesn't support this proprty or method.
OK - a bit of further looking shows that Firefox and Netscape don't have
the two "problems" identified above, it is just an issue in IE (ver
6.0.28).

Cheers

A bit slower, not fully optimized yet, but the biggest drain is the
satellite cache -- I'll prebuild that soon, and loading the vector data
on top of that is simple.

The Permalinks are obviously not in degrees lat/lon, but that math
shouldn't be too hard to include in the OpenLayers.Control.Permalink so
that we can link out to the applet in the way it expects.. 

I'll publish a tutorial on how to create cartographic styles tomorrow or
the next day, so that all you people telling me 'the colors are wrong!'
can give me lines of mapfile to fix it ;)

Any non-speed, non-cartographic complaints?
