Dear friends,
It is a pleasure to greet you. I'm new to the world of geospatial
science but I have some knowledge about it. My interest is to
clarify some doubts about a project that I have to implement to a
customer.
The work schedule is as follows: It is required to implement a web
server that has the WFS and WMS capability so users can connect with
a client application (desktop) and allow them to use the mapping
information will be available on that server .
We have been researching products that we could use and there is a
high degree of approval with MapServer, my questions are:
- Developing a web server with mapserver, is required to design a
server access page for handling maps or we can do it only with the
client application?
mapserver runs as a CGI, fast CGI or module process, it typically
returns just a map image. There is no need for a separate server
access page. Hopefully I have understood your question?
- What software recommended to implement the client application?
Depending on your needs, there are several client libraries and
environments that might be suitable in a desktop environment. QGIS (c
based GIS application) and uDig (java/eclipse based UI) come to mind
immediately as open source options.
- In the second stage we are planning to implement routing solutions
and vehicle tracking, does MapServer have support for these solutions?
No, mapserver only produces a map image (or GML in the case of WFS)
from your GIS data. pgRouting is an open source implementation of
routing.
I hope I can help.
Thank you very much.
See all the ways you can stay connected to friends and family
