Open Source Site of the Day: Map Server -- Spatially-enabled Internet Applications
I came across
MapServer
based upon a mention of someone in the Wt mailing list.
I havn't looked at all entries in the example galleries, but it might be interesting to
import the existing maps of Bermuda into this and create a tourist attraction. People could
upload points of interest, pictures, voice-overs, videos, and text. It could become an
ideal 'living historical document' of Bermuda, with everything geo-referenced.
the resulting database could be used by tourists to find points of interest, learn about
points of interest, and record their own thoughts.
With some extra work, and for those with PDA's, walking tours with roving maps could be
implemented. And if the PDA happen to have GPS in it, the roaming tour would truly be self
guided, interactive, random, and beneficial to those with a specific focus.
