Thanks for that tutorial. I'll need to first have administrative access to both GeoServer and PostgreSQL running on a server. So, I'm thinking of setting up, as I mentioned, both mapserver via geomoose and geoserver. I am new to all of this, so I'm going to send questions to the individual

I just had a good conversation with Tyler Mitchell at OSGeo. I am going to dive in and set up a server with openlayers and try different tools for the server layer. What I need is something that deals well with WFS-T and WMS-T. WFS-T is for adding and editing features, and WMS-T is for

Here's a tutorial for OpenLayers WFS-T Using a GeoServer Hosted PostGIS Layer. A WFS-Transaction can be used to add, remove or modify the features that are loaded, and most importantly allows for the changes to be committed back and saved to the parent source.

It looks like the project can be done by starting it with GeoMoose, but I want to survey all the other web mapping tools available. Geomoose is made with mapserver and openlayers. Perhaps Geoserver and other tools/software have advantages over mapserver? I'm starting from scratch, so you have to

Nitin, Openlayers can build polygons on the map. GeoMoose, which is built on top of OpenLayers can also do this. In both cases you will need to build out a service to store the created polygons. bobb Nitin Gadia nitty...@gmail.com wrote: Please help!! Does anyone know an open

Someone also told me you can do polygons in openstreetmap (parking lots, buildings, etc.). Does anyone know how to do this? I can't seem to be able to figure it out... Vector editing in OpenLayers (i.e. drawing points, lines and polygons). http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/vector-formats.html
