A beautiful example that uses the Google Maps API is:<br><br>http://www.dyasdesigns.com/geoxml/gmlusa.htm<br><br>It makes use of an API plugin called geoxml that can load XML data which can be produced by<br>a WFS server. In the source code, a static GML file is used but a google search shows that it can <br>connect to a live WFS server using the URL. <br> <br>> Date: Sat, 2 May 2009 09:28:01 -0500<br>> From: Steve.Lime@dnr.state.mn.us<br>> To: vsaraf.gmu@gmail.com<br>> Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] Re: Dynamic data loading using Google maps andMapserver<br>> CC: mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org<br>> <br>> One way to do that is to construct MapServer queries based on the event<br>> and submit them using AJAX.
