> After some experimenting we did a PHP Mapscript web application with
Postgis as spatial backend. Basic features use intersect (distance=0 a&&b)
Area.

> Open source. Open standards. Glues perfectly with Mapserver. In prospectus
GEOS. Builds over PostgreSQL.

> It is very flexible and seems to be built on solid algorithms (i.e. I get
> trustworthy results). A highly responsive user/support community (I'm
