Geographic mapping with Intraweb

[bruce.eglington@usask.ca]

I would like to add geographic maps to existing Intraweb applications and would appreciate advice from those who have used any existing components for this purpose. I have read about TMSIWWebOSMaps but know that they have a separate mapping component which is favoured but does not support Intraweb. I assume that the former is no longer as well developed.

Any comments on functionality, suitability for use with Intraweb, etc would be appreciated on these and any other recommended products.

Thanks

Hi Bruce,

I couldn't find a simple intranet component either, but of course, Google Maps or OpenStreetMap can be integrated using JavaScript.

Examples for using Google Maps (which is a paid service) can be found at www.w3schools.com.

For using OpenStreetMap for free, there are the JavaScript libraries Leaflet (leafletjs.com) and OpenLayers (openlayers.org).

I use the Leaflet JavaScript library by Volodymyr Agafonkin.

On the website, you'll find comprehensive documentation and an extensive collection of plugins for all sorts of use cases.

The CGD Tools extension now fully supported and maintained by IW has map components.

Thanks to both. Either of these look like good options to investigate further and are probably complimentary in a sense.
