[mapserver-users] Customized layer for Mapserver/Kamap

[Florin A.]

Hi,

Kamap was designed to only take Mapserver input, yes.
Mapserver will take most formats.  You can have data in shapefiles, in
a database, a raster image, or in a text file.
Do you have polygons for the cities or do you want to just draw a
circle at their lat/long ?
