[OSM-talk] OSM into OOo document

[Donald Campbell II]

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.  Only one thing left... since
I can't seem to get the static map services to do it.

I'm sure this is a fairly standard comp-sci type algorithm and solved years
and years ago.  It probably has a nice name for it and sample code.
What's the algorithm to determine a comfortable bounding box for an
arbitrary set of points?

Basically defining a bounds that holds all the points then expanding it a
certain percentage or so, accounting for the GPS coordinate system.

Unless I missed a really obvious way to do it with the static map services.

-Don.
