You mean add points dynamically to a map via a URL call to the CGI? If so that's
pretty easy. There are 2 steps:
1) add a layer to symbolize the points with
e.g.
LAYER
NAME 'site'
TYPE POINT
STATUS OFF
CLASS
SYMBOL 'circle' SIZE 5 COLOR 255 0 0 OUTLINECOLOR 0 0 0
END
END
2) define the point in the URL
e.g.
http://maps.dnr.state.mn.us/cgi-bin/mapserv410?map=/usr/local/www/docs_maps/waters/csg/reference.map&mode=map&layer=site&map_site_feature_points=582248.23+4841497.11
You can also add text if you define a label and use map_site_feature_text to
pass the text.

I'm trying to use CGI MapServer (ie NOT MapScript) to dynamically add
points to a map based on X and Y fields in a database (currently MS
Access). Can someone point me in the right direction?
MapServer 4.8.3
Windows, IIS
