Subject: RE: mapping
Pretty cool application. Here's what it is.
First, the olsrexperiment
website is a Mambo site. The mapping application is in an
iframe. I was able to get to this url from
there:
Looks like it's
all Open Source. (Open Source is KING) On the home page there is a
link to the Chameleon project. I just spend 5 min looking at it so I'm
no expert but it looks like it is a client to a larger Open Source mapping
application. Probably for the MapServer project (also linked on the
maptools page).
I'll have to take
a look at it when I have more time.

Looking into it more, its the OLSR Dot Draw plugin with a custom
frontend. Perhaps reading geograpical location from a static table
somewhere.
So... how to get the Dot Draw output into that nice purty
gui.

It appears that they have their

purchased maps data or purchased app and data) since it's not
watermarked with anything (Google, Yahoo, etc) They've put together a heck
of an app, but you could easily do the same thing with Google maps
(polylines, custom markers), with the exception of the smaller
click-and-drag selection map, afaik. The IP's would have to be info bubbles
too.
