[Geomoose-users] Creating of .map for Geomoose

[TC Haddad]

Hi Caitlin

There was a Mapserver cartography presentation at FOSS4G in Portland that
mentioned a GUI tool for Windows called Mapserver MapManager from
GISInternals.The presenter said nice things about it. I have not tried it
myself but it looks very comprehensive :

As an aside, the same FOSS4G presentation is worth watching if you want to
see an advanced user talk about putting some nice cartography together in
Mapserver: https://vimeo.com/107512542

Also I second Eli's recommendation to navigate the MapServer Mapfile
documentation itself - it's really great.
http://mapserver.org/mapfile/index.html

You can get plugins for Editors like NotePad++ that do Syntax highlighting
for Mapfiles. Here's one repo (there are many):
