Very interesting insights into the whole project! <br /><br />I am researching various approaches to presenting dynamic boundary overlays in online mapping applications such as Google or Bing Map and hence I "picked on" that issue. I agree, it's not a small challenge and especially considering the size of the traffic you have to deal with. And there is the issue of generalisation of polygons - here not even high end GIS software is able to be of much assistance if topological consistency is required at 15 different zoom levels. Unless Java based application is an option, the only alternative is 100's of hours of "manual labor" to make those boundaries fit.All Things Spatialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10413714814303264541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221900824469142147.post-81674259444324876922009-12-01T20:10:25.759+11:002009-12-01T20:10:25.759+11:00Hi there,

We did a (very long!) blog post that covers some of the ups and downs of the project, including accuracy of boundary data, take a look here:<br />http://blog.crimemapper.co.uk/<br /><br />Cheers,<br />PaulPaul Shttp://www.rkh.co.uk/noreply@blogger.com
