In fact, the Arabian Pennisula map on the worldkit.org is a GeoRSS file derived from such a transformation.<br><br>I can go into details of this if you like, but I'm not sure this is what you're asking. Is this what you're interested in? "Faster methods" suggests you already have a method for doing this transformation, but that it's too slow. Or perhaps you are looking for vector simplification algorithms?<br><br>Mikel<br><br>ps It would probably be good to investigate these transformations anyway. Get some documentation up on the wiki. Start a subproject. Look into native support for GeoRSS in gdal/ogr<br><br>l Message
