Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] web mapping package

John (and others), I keep forgetting to relay this little tidbit. GeoMoose is built on top of OpenLayers, so all of it's data sources are theoretically, feasible as datsources as well. The Map View is all OpenLayers. bobb >>> John Callahan 12/28/09 7:09 PM >>> Thanks percy. No, I hadn't

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] web mapping package

John, First off, I'm close to the GeoMoose project, now having said that. . . GeoMoose will implement way faster out of the box. Usually, the biggest hurdle, is if you need to change the projection of the data you are displaying. If all your data is in the same projection, it's not a probl

Clark, There is a fairly well thought out PDF maker that is PHP based inside of GeoMoose. Might be a place to start. bobb Clark Woodward wrote: I am looking for recommendations the Open Source community for the following application. Currently I have an OpenLayers map that is dynamica

Geez, I want my money back . . . Kidding. So, what sort of things do you expect to get out of this survey, the questions seem fairly general in nature, and without a real big response group, I don't see how much meaningful can be interpreted from it. bobb >>> P Kishor wrote: http://w

A thought here . . . . How would you see something like this working from a Project meta-data perspective. I'm wondering about the possibilty of each OSGEO project handling their own branch of the MindMap diagram. Is there a way to link branches together? Another piece that is nagging at me s

Re: Fwd: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mind Map - Open Source Spatial Projects

Bruce, Yeah I got that to work, but was wondering if there were other client that could read it. I use a similar (pay for) application called Inspiration that allows for building of similar diagrams. I thought it might open the MM file, but no go. Nice file BTW. bobb Bruce Bannerman wr

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Mind Map - Open Source Spatial Projects

All, What's the best Client for this MM stuff? A little research on it reveals there are more than one version of the file format as well as more than one version of client, and not all clients read all formats . . . bobb >>> Bruce Bannerman wrote: I have been developing a Mind Map for

Arnie, I'm working on something almost exactly as you describe, a connect and/or standalone map service. I cal it a cascaded map service (might be a mis-label), that can stay in sync with the remote server, and act as a standalone when the network connection is not available. My buisness ne
