[Geomoose-users] GeoMoose User Group Meeting

[Bob Basques]

The grouping can be accomplished in the MAPBOOK.XML.   You use the <GROUP> tag to do this, you can nest as deep as you like too.

I believe that Brian fischer has an example of multiple Zoom-to pulldowns in one tab somewhere.  I've seen this is action somewhere.

The new Address GeoCoder will definitely be integrated in.  There is a bunch of testing to do on it though, before that happens. 

A generic geocoder is possible as well.  we do that sort of data lookup internally with the Popups though, but doing it similar to your finder tool is also an option.  Maybe we can add in an example of something like this to the demo download.

Bob,

I'm sorry too.  Unfortunately duty called.

Here's what I have so far, the data is all being served via PostGIS:

http://www.gis.leg.mn/geomoose/atlas/

The cartography needs work.  The identify tool is coming along nicely, but I still need to add a few layers.

I guess what I meant rather than a list box is a tree menu, where one can expand or contract the layer information via a plus/minus sign.  The layers in the atlas above can be better organized in such a fashion (Political, Administrative, Transportation, etc).  

Having the "Jump To" pulldown list be dynamic would be interesting.  Perhaps having it change by clicking on a layer?  The Leg Atlas is set for school districts right now since there are people wanting that.

Has there been any discussion on having a geocoding tool built into GeoMoose?  It would be nice to see our District Finder tool incorporated into this (something I can probably work on).

Thanks again for all of your help Bob.

Lee, 

I'm copying this to the GeoMoose user list.

Most of not all of your list is already possible with GeoMoose.   The identify tool is already there.   Some specifics about what data to search for would help.  The List box for Thematic data.  Do you meant oadd in layers as thematic markup, or something other than simply adding a layer to GeoMoose?  The Address Mail labels example, is a report, and can be used as a template of sorts.

A few more details about what you want to appear in the end products would help out.

These would have been very good questions for the GMUG meeting yesterday too.  :c)  Sorry, just rubbing ion the fact that you missed it.

Bob,

We were needed for some committee hearings today and I couldn't make the meeting.  Hopefully there will be another one shortly after session ends and I'll be further along in working with GeoMoose.  Here are some tools that would be useful for us:

- An identify tool that selects via a box
- A list box for thematic data.  An example would be a list box for election results.  When a user clicks on the box, multiple layers would open up showing election results by year.  Each layer would have a checkbox next to it to make it viewable.
- A way to display customized reports

Thanks again for all of your help.

Lee
