I worked extensively with tint bands for my GIS Progam capstone project
(specifically, tint bands for English counties to achieve a historical
map effect).<br><br>Using the gradient method was simple, though time
consuming. However, I found that the most time was spent constructing
custom tint bands for a specific look - ie. historical maps. In the end,
I had 8-10 distinct gradient bands (based off the "Dust" colors), and
after a few dry runs, was able to go through and customize each polygon
very quickly. I also matched the outline for each poly with the
corresponding color, and likewise filled each poly again with the
corresponding color, applying an appropriate transparency level for
desired effect.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Try this: search for a city in Google Maps (doesn't show in
aerial view), and the result is the city limits highlighted with a pink tint
band. This result shows at multiple zoom levels. Cool cartography,
but always remember to refer to local authoritative data for accurate info!<u></u><u></u></p>
