[Mapserver-users] Different instances to the same map II

[Steve Lime]

Not really. You can change extents, layer lists and so on to add multiple maps to a page. Typically you use a query to get at the necessary spatial or attributes and then build a series of maps from that information.  Here's an example. Only one map but it's generated based on the attributes of the queried feature. One could easily add inset maps for Landsat images and quads.

http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/compass.html?map=COMPASS_MAPFILE&mode=indexquery&shapeindex=1786&qlayer=pwa_query

Just about anything is possible.

Really, that's a new one, I figured this was a pretty big deal to 
configure, hmmm, some possibilities are coming to mind.
