All, 

Even hough the trend is to use the OL or other interfaces.  I feel that there are advantages to using the Imagemaps too.   We've put together opmse interesting capabilities via the imagemaps that would not be as easy to implement with the off the shelf tools available.   

I think it's a good idea to know how the imagemaps work anyway, but that's just me.

I resurrected the example link you referenced. It can be found here:

Combining imagemaps with pan/zoom functions is difficult I think. The example above is similar, conceptually, to your website. However, the trend is to use a tool like OpenLayers to call query services backed by MapServer or GeoServer via AJAX.

Hi, 

  

I'm trying to use Mapserver or GeoServer/OpenLayers to display my maps and their respective image in order to make use of the zooming and possibly other features.  On my site users can click on countries or states they have visited and the maps entities are flood filled with color by GD-PHP.  The site is here: http://wherehaveibeen.info. 

  

I'm trying to find an example of imagemap use on MapServer because the link is dead on the doc page on the subject: http://mapserver.org/output/imagemaps.html?highlight=imagemap ( http://mapserver.org/output/imagemaps.html?highlight=imagemap ).  Does anyone have a new example they can point me to? 

  

Thanks in advance. 


Sincerely,

Paul D Pruitt
