[OSM-talk] Navit format downloads

[Steve Chilton]

Nick
 
I am an exception, in that I use (for largely historical reasons) CorelDraw and not Illustrator, so can't provide an example AI file.
Maybe someone else on the list could step up and provide one.
If not, I could save a CorelDraw file in AI format but it would be sub-optimal as it will be affected by the export filter process. I am working away from office today so can't do till Wed at earliest.
 
Cheers
STEVE

	Steve - do you have any sample AI files that show the kind of layering
	you're talking about?
