[OpenLayers-Users] What is best way to provides maps without access to internet?

[Lisa Gaudette]

It's possible to just load images - OpenLayers.Layer.Image, but this can get
finicky if you need to properly georeference and line things up, or allow
for much zooming. It is possible to do some of those things it just gets
painful :)

There's no reason you couldn't set up a WMS (e.g. MapServer) or something
else locally with the user's own images.

Another option depending on the kind of data is to look at TMS made with
Maptiler/Gdal2tiles - those tools break a big image into a directory
structure of tiles with various zoom levels etc.
