[postgis-users] ESRI Shape to Postgres

[Khurram Niaz Sheikh]

Thanks a lot,

I managed to view the map through geoserver openlayers, how about routing and navigation, is there any utility/plug in to support such feature?

Best Regards,
Khuram

Hi,

The typical approach is via OGC web services (WFS/WMS)

You set up a server (eg: geoserver, UMN mapserver) then you can use a web client to render maps (eg: OpenLayers, GeoMoose)

mapserver is a cgi which comes in a ms4w package which may be simpler for you, Geoserver is a java/tomcay application.

mapserver can provide WMS/WFS services & also has a java (& php, etc) mapscript capability if you want to craft your own client interface instead of using something like OpenLayers.

HTH,

  Brent Wood
