Hi Pradeep, I'm not an OL expert, but you are right: adding a huge number of features via javascript is not the right way, because OL is a javascript environment and works locally on browser; managing too much features it charge the local ram.
OpenLayer accept wms and mapserver layers (http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/). Set up a server and add a OL layer from it. bye ....................pg On Gio, Aprile 2, 2009 01:42, new2ms4w wrote: > > Hi All, > I used Mapserver along with OpenLayers to generate moving objects and > display them on roads in Minnesota map.
