Mapguide OS/Enterprise versus Google maps mashup

[Swati Prabhu]

Hi Everyone,

I do hope this is the right forum to discuss this concern and regret the 
rather long post.

We have a rather critical application with high visibility for our Campus 
map application. We used Mapguide 6.5 Liteview(and Cold Fusion) to deploy 
this in Production in january. Unfortunately, we have had severe 
performance issues and negative feedback about it overall. Located at : 
http://campusmap.stanford.edu

In the meanwhile, some students have developed a mashup using Google maps 
API and are using Google maps + our cold fusion reporting structure. This 
application is gaining in popularity and we are under pressure to 
officially support it with updated data and by adding any missing 
functionality. Located at: http://www.stanford.edu/hpcgi/map/index.pl

We do see a lot of pros and cons to each of the approaches. We are 
envisioning that Mapguide OS/Enterprise can give us the best of both 
worlds? It does require significant setup, programming and rework of 
everything, and we would be willing to put in the effort if we had a strong 
case to go that route.

Any thoughts from this forum on pursuing this Google Maps API mashup versus 
venturing into mapguide OS/enterprise as a long term solution?

We have seen many of the posts related to integrating Google maps with 
Mapguide OS ( particulary Andy Morsell's example)  and unfortunately that 
adds to our dilemma of a suitable direction . :)

Thanks!!
Swati
