I am starting on a project where users should be able to search results from our database, and then map them. I would like something similar to the maps.google.com where there is pagination on the left, and a map on the right.
I noticed that what Google maps does is that they load a mostly transparent overlay containing small dots that show where every location is. For example, in a search "library near houston, tx" will get you this: http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=library+near+houston,+tx&fb=1&gl=us&hq=library&hnear=houston,+tx&ei=6126SrTjIobjlAfErmk&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=image&resnum=4 This map contains tiled clear overlays of all results, here's one for example: http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=library+near+houston,+tx&fb=1&gl=us&hq=library&hnear=houston,+tx&ei=6126SrTjIobjlAfErmk&sa=X&oi=local_group&ct=image&resnum=4 Has any one else done something like this before? Besides the huge GIS systems, is there any PHP open source software that will make simple map overlays when given a set of points? Any example code?
