[OSM-talk] Osmarender based slippy map

[Andy Robinson]

Pretty neat that Dave. So I hope we are not going to have render wars next
:-) 

In the longer run perhaps renderers can share a common data and delivery
format structure which will then just leave the look and feel and the extent
of displayed objects down to the individual. Either that or these options
will be selectable by the user from a single map rendering facility so that
tailored and unique maps can be created on the fly.

Cheers

Andy
