Blueprints for the GIS Module

We use ​OpenLayers to display Maps with some ​GeoExt widgets.

• Mapping API
• Layers
  • Features
  • GeoRSS
  • Google
  • Images
  • KML
  • OSM
  • Shapefiles
  • SOS
  • TMS
  • WMS
  • WFS
• GIS Map Catalog
• Proxy
• Import/Export
• Locations Hierarchy
• Geolocator
• GoogleGears
• GoogleEarth
• Grid
• HeatMap
• Libraries
• Markers
• Mobile
• Projections
• Printing
• Real-Time Tracking
• Rectifier
• Routing
• Search
• Spatial Storage
• TileCache
• Time Play
• UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
• Upload Photos - with GPX Track & use timestamps to place associated features onto the map
• WebMapContext

To display Shapefiles & Images we need to install a 3rd party server. ​GeoServer is probably a better target than ​MapServer

• GeoServer has a great in-built Admin UI
• GeoServer can be configured via REST rather than MapScript if we wish to control from within Eden itself
• GeoServer uses OpenLayers as native preview
• GeoServer has a ​Printing plugin
• ​OpenGeoSuite provides an integrated stack
• ​MapFish Studio

We should aim to be compatible with UN Logistics: ​http://www.logcluster.org/mapcenter/unsdi
