I'm asking that especially in the light of <http://techblog.wikimedia.org/2009/07/svg-for-all-with-flash/> which might give use in-browser display of SVG, and perhaps even interactive SVG. Using that with OSM would be really cool! Now, afaik Mapnik supports SVG rendering. But I suspect that interactive vector maps would work differently from interactive pixel-based maps: you could scale smoothly, could use much bigger tiles, and would use level-of-detail layers instead of pre-scaled tiles... Does somethign like that exist yet? -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Phone +49 30 219 158 260 Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
