What is MapStorer?
MapStorer is a database supported system for managing UMN MapServer projects. It allows users to edit map projects via a web browser and create MapServer configuration files (mapfiles) on the fly. Usually mapfiles are simple text files, which have to be edited by hand. MapStorer makes it possible to maintain UMN mapping projects via an easy-to-use web frontend - and ingnore the internal details of a mapfile. Which Software does MapStorer use?
MapStorer uses the MySQL database server to store the mapfile information and the
administrative data. The graphical user interface was completely realized with DHTML by using PHP
and JavaScript.Besides it uses the UMN MapServer as a preview tool for the data. Because of the used software MapStorer is completely system und platform independent. How does MapStorer work?
Mapfiles can be generated via a graphical user interface. The preview of color- or symbol-settings plus the option to view the whole map makes work faster and easier.
Generated map projects can be exported as mapfiles.Open Source Software
