Hi all, Apologies if this is the incorrect list but I would like to ask for advice on how to implement my idea.
I've been fiddling with a FGS installation of MapServer and things seem to be going pretty well: I was able to display some shapefiles I was sent using the Gmap example but now I need to able to draw points on the map - meaning that if a user clicks on the map, a dot/pin appears on the map. The idea is to able to record that pin and the layers (that were enabled at the time) and save them to a database and later show that data on the map itself. But first things first, how could I go about placing points/pins? I am guessing I am going to need a toolset? I was told that OpenLayers might be able to do what I am asking but it looks a bit complicated for me (setting MapServer as WMS etc). Is there something else out there that might do what I want? The second part of my application would save that data to a database and then display them, but that's the second step, I am interested more into getting the points/pins on the map first. Thanks in advance for any replies! ps. Apologies if the questions seem silly but I have very little experience with MapServer.
