<pre>Folks, hello, and I wonder if anyone can share experiences doing such a transition. (I've tried this question with the OpenLayers groups without response but it was suggested that this group might help.)<br><br>Background: I've written a free, Open Source Computer-Aided Dispatch application targeted to the public safety community, notably ham radio groups who kick into gear during emergency/crisis conditions. It relies on GMaps API and imagery currently.<br>
<br>But under emergency conditions which comprise the reasons for this community's existence, internet connectivity to Google may not exist of course. Accordingly, I'm planning a version of the app in which the tile sets and API are resident at a local server. Hence my strong interest in open solutions.<br>
<br>I can't imagine I'm the only one here doing anything like that, so I'll appreciate hearing re experiences doing this, plus, especially, thoughts on the tile sets available. Thanks, all.<br><br>Arnold Shore<br>
