Client/Server mapping software
The WebMapping site uses Autodesk MapGuide to give:
- scale-dependent map display
- multiple point and click selection
- selection by radius or arbitrarily defined polygon (on full vector graphics)
- selection through methods using lookups (eg to drivetime matrices) held in RDBMSs
- zoom/goto facilities for simple navigation (to point, line or polygon objects)
In our experience, and after two years research, MapGuide offers far and away the best mechanisms for accessing map data over the Internet.
