Hi list, I often wonder what currently is the added value of Mapbuilder over OpenLayers.
As I see it, the gap between Mapbuilder and OpenLayers is quickly getting smaller and smaller. Soon OpenLayers will have WMC and OWS Context read/write support, previous and next extent controls, a distance measuring control, Tim's css-based scalebar. The overview map is already there for a while. Add to this Andreas excellent work on SLD and styles in OL. Also, it is very easy using something like ExtJS to add a fancy layer manager with drag and drop, like e.g. MapFish is doing. ExtJS also makes it easy to create fancy toolbars or menus using OL's map controls. So I am interested to hear what the developers of Mapbuilder see as the added value of Mapbuilder?
