Internet Map Service
How easy…
I used to work with maps and I find it’s interesting to post a map of my interest somewhere I can have easy access. The only way to do it is keeping it online, which I can browse anytime, anywhere with a computer connected to the Internet.
I’m using ALOV (from www. freegis.org), a JAVA engine to serve my map into the net. ALOV is so simple, light-weight (200 kb), colorful and fast rendering. With it, I can just copy the engine into my webhost, plus my set of vector/raster maps. Just a few minutes, everything is done.
The core thing is lying on the metafile. Metafile is a text file which holds information about how maps will be arranged and rendered using ALOV. Learning those tags is not really difficult. Spending one day, I could do it.
Please see and play around with the map of my institute, AIT Thailand.
