Thanks Stephen. I have a web GIS application which runs on firefox or IE. But it does not display map on the mobile browser. The basic architecture is this: PHP page, invoking mapserver through mapfiles. I was thinking if I can get a image output from mapserver which was reduced/compressed in size it may solve the problem. when i create a basic border outline kinda map the image generated through shp2img is about 600kb which is a lot to display on a mobile. Maybe that is the reason my web page does not display on the mobile browser? -----Original Message----- From: "stephen kelly" <[email protected]> Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:23:19 +1000 To: "padma priya" <[email protected]>, <[email protected]> CC: Subject: RE: [mapserver-users] Displaying maps on the mobile
Hi, Technically MapServer does not know or care, what it is creating a map for, it is the website built around MapServer, that matters. But the simple answer is Yes - it can be done - we here have done 3 different solutions that we have done for mobiles. a) - simple browser (mobile or normal web browser) based that will work on any phone with a browser b) - advanced functions and maps in a client side application for windows mobiles c) - advanced JavaScript website that works on iPhones / blackberries I hope this help, if you want any more information I will (should) be around most of the weekend and can talk to you more about this.
