Assuming you have a laptop, why not just install whatever you want on it and point your browser to http://localhost/mybigfatmaprepository/ I have MapServer, Apache, PostGIS/PostGres, Perl, PDL, OpenLayers, jQuery and just about everything else installed on my 4.5 lbs MacBook. I have a little snippet of code in my application so I can turn Google Maps "on" or "off" as needed before I even launch my programs (I use Google Maps terrain maps as a base layer). I even have the documentation for all these programs installed in html form, heck, even minicpan. No need for Internet at all. The only thing I can continue to have is unlimited power, but as long as I can turn my computer on, I can get to all my data. No Internet, no x.5G, no problem. > So, the ideia is to have a repository of maps, like the terrain maps > offered online by google, for exemple, but I dont like the ideia of > using the cache of google earth since all my work is done with QGIS > and Geoserver. > I know of some programs that are trial based that can do this but the > images dont have any type of projection information with them. > I end up with a bunch of images that cant be layed out on my current > projection system. > Is there a way of doing some kind of work with qgis in order to get > this done correctly? > > Thanks for any kind of help. > > Carlos Sousa > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > Discuss@lists.osgeo.org > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss > -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
