[mapserver-users] MapServer vs ArcGIS server

[Flavio Hendry]

Hello Ya

I agree on everything Mike said. On the API question I must say that 
ESRI (finally) has done a great job. All kind of APIs are available free 
of charge and make it really easy to develop apps, see:

http://resources.arcgis.com/content/arcgisserver/web-apis

Here an app we created with the JS API (City of Bern):
http://map.bern.ch/stadtplan/index_en.htm

In addition they have SDKs for creating apps for iOS, Android and 
Windows Phone ... The city of Zurich has done a pretty good iPhone App, 
even with routing for bike and pedestrians ... look for zuriplan (only 
in German I think) ...

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best regards
Flavio Hendry
