[mapserver-users] Displaying maps on the mobile

[padma priya]

Thanks Stephen. I have a web GIS application which runs on firefox or IE.
But it does not display map on the mobile browser. The basic architecture
is this: PHP page, invoking  mapserver through mapfiles. I was thinking if
I can get a 
image output from mapserver which was reduced/compressed in size it may
solve the problem. when i create a basic border outline kinda map the image
generated through shp2img is about 600kb which is a lot to display on a
mobile. Maybe that is the reason my web page does not display on the mobile
browser?

Hi,

Technically MapServer does not know or care, what it is creating a map
for, it is the website built around MapServer, that matters.

But the simple answer is Yes - it can be done - we here have done 3
different solutions that we have done for mobiles.

a) - simple browser (mobile or normal web browser) based that will work
on any phone with a browser

b) - advanced functions and maps in a client side application for
windows mobiles

c) - advanced JavaScript website that works on iPhones / blackberries

I hope this help, if you want any more information I will (should) be
around most of the weekend and can talk to you more about this.

Thanks

Thanks but does mapserver support map creation for the mobile browser?
