Progress has been made(from commit log): OSM tiles now loading with wiki data points TODO: Get popup bubble with wiki page link working. TODO: Optimizations for speed and load. Note: X,Y in Database are reverse of real world X is the long way around the equator = longitude 0-180 pos and neg, Y is the lateral (up/down) = latitude 0-90 pos, neg. - if we fix the database we'll need to fix the code since the SQL query will change.
more: http://www.projectsycamore.org/Mapping Code Branch http://sycamore.devjavu.com/browser/branches/mapping Currently there is no limit on returned records, since I'm only testing with 2 points right now I have no idea what a sane max is and how to choose how many points to put on the overview map. Ideally I actually think we should create something like a GeoRSS, GML or KML file and use that to server the map. It could be updated via diffs when the database triggers on a location change. That way we could cache the points for loading. Alternate idea would be to bundle Featureserver python WFS service with Sycamore. More on that later.
