[mapguide-users] Mapguide OS/Enterprise versus Google maps mashup

[Butler, Juan P]

I like the Google Map, but there isn't any interaction with the symbols.
Are we just seeing a raster being overlaid?  Similar to a WMS request?


I haven't had much luck streaming actual polygons to Google Maps, but
they work nicely in Google Earth.  Andy and Jason have probably done
more with Google Maps.  My problem was with performance of streaming the
large datasets from Mapguide Enterprise over Google Maps.  Especially
polygons.

I'm also interested in seeing if anyone else has had any luck.

mashup

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
