Margie: glad you have not evaporated … The
EpiQMS site is down right now due to a server failure. It still has SVG
maps. There is also a new version
or twist on the old paradigm which works with record level data MS SQL. We
installed EpiQMS on the PA DOH and it seems to work fine. Working with SVG is
tedious simple and the code generation is betting better, faster and more
functionality. Adobe new SVG viewer has speeded things up a lot. Our goal was
to have very simple maps and then provide the capacity for people to download
the data and use a GIS. We are OK to have it installed in your venue, cost would be minimal, just to cover our time.

Subject: [Maptitude] Re: Maptitude
for Web is expensive - Substitutes?
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!
Sincerely,
Margie
