Hello, from the Long-ago founder of this Maptitude listserv!
(A note that every so often I get messages marked as possible spam by Yahoo, and I make a determination as to whether to forward it on, so despite near invisibility the last few years, I've still been tending quietly to the listserv...) I'm writing to ask what web mapping systems people like these days.... I've been asked to put together a proposal regarding a web- based mapping system for health data. Dick, the resources below (from a 2004 email) are helpful, but I can't quite find the old maps I was used to on the EpiQMS... Are you still using an SVG solution on there? I find Maptitude for the Web to be a bit sluggish compared to modern sensibilities for how fast a web page should load, so I like the SVG idea. Is anyone else using it? What systems do you like? What's not too much of a "bear" to work with? Are folks happy with Maptitude for the Web... mapping in Flash? ArcIMS, PopMaps, etc!
