[Geomoose-users] Mouseover features?

Yeah - pretty slick.

it seems like it wouldn't need to be a total re-think for the user. The UTF
grids can be served in parallel with WMS requests, to send over the
important attribute information, so that layers that have "hover" enabled
will have active hotspots. The docs say that you can only have one such
layer active at a time, so it would have to be a radio type switch.

the working UTFGridWMS demo from Google summer of code is here if you
haven't seen it:
