[ka-Map-users] Animated Maps - iboattrack.mapsherpa.com

[Paul Spencer]

Brandon,

Tim Schaub has been working on something similar I think.  He is keen  
to be able to generate tiles using map file substitution and avoiding  
the tile cache.  I think it is a work in progress, but perhaps he can  
comment more on this.

Cheers

Paul
