um... not being technical.. what i was suggesting is that... embedding the map where you have to do calculation, etc, in the middle of a bigger bit that is just a background wallpaper type thing where you don't do any calculation at all.

take the current dynamic map on dwi, when you zoom out a bit, say.. lvl 3... where lvl 1 is most zoomed in... on my screen at least, you can't scroll left/right because the whole thing is displayed on screen already. you can see cheniers coast (should that be chenier's coast?) has half the name displayed over black background. - ie.. you can see the whole name.

thus if you have a watery background or something... you can see the name.

---------

come to think of it.. you don't even need watery background. the "problem" as it stands is that when you zoom in to the 2 closerup levels, the map fills the whole screen width. i think if you reduce the width displayed (thus forcing black bands on either side of the map to be visible all the time)... you could see the names overflowing onto the black bands.. just like lvl3+

not sure if that helps or not.
