  1. Open Source Web Mapping Server Products(Spatially-enabled Internet applications)‏ Rex Thaxton & Jerry Workman Mountain CAD Corporation 339 Sixth Ave. South Charleston, WV 25303 304-744-7911 mtncad.com

  2. Today’s Mission Give you an understanding of the capabilities of Open Source solutions Not a substitute for a complete Enterprise Solution Poor Man’s Enterprise GIS – NOT Present mapping on the Web - YES

  3. What is Open Source From opensource.org: Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.

  4. Why Open Source Software? OSS is Free Price is tough to beat! …but not a “whole” product Free as in free speech, not as in free beer No Vendor “lock-in” Commercial support available

  5. The Players UMN MapServer Ka-Map MapGuide Open Source Google Maps API Yahoo, Microsoft Virtual Earth OpenLayers Deegree and others

  6. “MapServer is an Open Source development environment for building spatially-enabled internet applications. “ Supports industry standard data formats and spatial databases On-the-fly feature classification Sophisticated rule-based labeling On-the-fly projection for both raster and vector data Provides a wide variety of spatial and attribute-based queries Supports popular Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards including WMS, WFS and WCS Leverages best-of-breed open source geospatial technologies such as GDAL/OGR, PostGIS and PROJ.4 Integrates with popular front-end environments such as ka-Map, Chameleon, Mapbender, MapBuilder and Cartoweb UMN MapServer

  7. Fast, Reliable, Mature • Authoring Tools • Text Editor • Mapbender • Server component for Ka-Map • WMS Server • Randolph County Demo MapServer

  8. Ka-Map“ka-Map ("ka" as in ka-boom!) is an open source project that is aimed at providing a JavaScript API for developing highly interactive web mapping interfaces using features available in modern web browsers.” • Combines MapServer, phpMapScript, and AJAX • Just point it at a MapServer map file • Caches image tiles on the server and the client. • Ka-Map Demo • Fayette Tax Maps Demo

  9. MapGuide Open Source“MapGuide Open Source is a web-based platform that enables users to quickly develop and deploy web mapping applications and geospatial web services. MapGuide features an interactive viewer that includes support for feature selection, property inspection, map tips, and operations such as buffer, select within, and measure.” • Nice Windows install packages • Not truly open source MapGuide Studio is really necessary • Fayette County Demo

  10. MGOS Features • Offers an AJAX Viewer (pure DHTML no plug-in required) or a vector-based DWF Viewer (requires an ActiveX Control) with a common user interface and JavaScript API • AJAX Viewer offers a tiled map display for smooth navigation • Allows feature selection by point, rectangle, radius, or polygon with immediate feedback • Displays feature properties in multi-line tool tips • Displays properties of the selected feature in a property browser panel • Supports feature buffering, querying features that fall within selected polygons, and a tool for measuring distance • Provides printing and plotting support

  11. Google Maps API • Google provides your base map. • Google provides your user interface. • Layer data on top (e.g. KML, WMS)‏ • Search, Driving Directions built in. • Mash-Ups • Limited scale range (zoom in)‏ • Video • Locator Demo • WV Flood Zones

  12. Yahoo Maps APIMicrosoft Virtual Earth API Similar to Google… Internet Mapping Engine Comparisons

  13. OpenLayers • Can use data from any source • No server required – all JavaScript • Use other peoples’ data including Google, Yahoo, VirtualEarth, Google Earth KML, WMS servers (e.g. DEP,WVGIS)‏ • OpenLayers Demo

  14. Static Maps HTML ImageMap PDF DWF Assessor Tax Maps Demo
