Hi, Is there more to this than loading the data and the data server technology onto a machine you take into the field and configuring the clients on that machine to use the local data and server technology?
Do you take a network with you? You could for example network and rely on one server which talks to many client machines using that network? I don't know about using Google clients cached with Google data, but if the data is free, or you have license for use and can take them, I'm sure you can configure the client/servers so long as they too are open or you have a license for their use and are installable on the machines. Good luck Carlos!

When in the field, there is no broadband internet or it's limited to 2.5G communication which is very slow, even for the best OGC server available. 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.
