Hi, mobile maps based on mobile web has certain limitations. If the targeting browser does not support JS , it would be useless to use OL as a client. Basically it would be a good idea if you can provide a seperate layout using CSS, if you want to use the same web site.
But if yor target phones are not smart phones , then better to avoid OL client and use a simple XHTML based client. In terms of navigation , img size , apperence etc, it is a good idea to provide a seperate sites tahn trying to optimize the existing site. I have tried WMS on mobile with Mapserver and basic HTML. PHP or any server side strategy would do no harm. I am testing cabalities of different browsers on providing web GIS services on mobile context these days and your site also can consider as a candidate if you wish. nimalika --- On Fri, 6/12/09, Frederic Junod <[email protected]> wrote: From: Frederic Junod <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Displaying maps on the mobile To: [email protected] Date: Friday, June 12, 2009, 3:18 AM If the images returned by mapserver (WMS) are viewable by the mobile browser, then yes: it's supported. The main problem here is the map navigation (pan, zoom, etc ...) with OpenLayers in a mobile browser. But that's a javascript problem, not a mapserver problem. fredj On Fri, Jun 12, 2009 at 11:58 AM, padma priya<[email protected]> wrote: > Thanks but does mapserver support map creation for the mobile browser? -- Frédéric Junod Camptocamp SA _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
