With the help of the Internet and accompanying tools, creating and
publishing online maps has become easier and rich with options. A
city guide web site can use maps to show the location of
restaurants, museums, and art venues. A business can post a map for
reaching its offices. The state government can present a map
showing average income by area.
Developers who want to publish maps on the web often discover
that commercial tools cost too much and hunting down the free tools
scattered across Internet can use up too much of your time and
resources. "Web Mapping Illustrated" shows you how to create maps,
even interactive maps, with free tools, including MapServer,
OpenEV, GDAL/OGR, and PostGIS. It also explains how to find,
collect, understand, use, and share mapping data, both over the
traditional Web and using OGC-standard services like WFS and
WMS.
Mapping is a growing field that goes beyond collecting and
analyzing GIS data. "Web Mapping Illustrated" shows how to combine
free geographic data, GPS, and data management tools into one
resource for your mapping information needs so you don't have to
lose your way while searching for it.
Remember the fun you had exploring the world with maps?
Experience the fun again with "Web Mapping Illustrated," This book
will take you on a direct route to creating valuable maps.
