[mapserver-users] Edit database attribute

[Juan S. Barros J.]

Erwin

If possible i will like to ask a couple of things a bit out of mapserver
programing but into its capabilities regarding the proyect where i am
working.

1.- in which movil / wireless plataform are you mounting your viever/editor?
or will and assembly with mapserver run on a Palm?
2.- will it run with a gps module (like center on where I am/gps)
3.- how do you plan to manage multiple users observing/editing the same
object?
4.- Are you planning to develop any internet I/O wireless conection with a
map server or the data will stay in the movil unit?
