RE: vmap vpf data not displaying

Thanks Don - I wasn't aware of that.

If anyone out there has used Vmap or similar in Openmap - I have another
question:

When just displaying the "edge" property called "coastl" I would expect to
get the coastline drawn. What I am getting is the coastline being drawn,
along with some sort of straightline approximation of the coastline drawn as
well. Needless to say this stuff's things up. Has anyone else seen this
happen?

For the life of me I cant work out why this "extra" line is appearing. It
appears "over" all the coastlines. If anyone has an example of there
properties file where they set there VPF/Vmap layer up I would be extremely
grateful if you could send it to me. I am working a little in the dark here
at the moment. I have seen the example in the Openmap VPF layer code, I was
hoping to find a few more examples.

Thanks in advance.

What happens if you zoom in closer that 1:30M? There is a scale cutoff
there to prevent the layer from getting too busy by doing too much.
