Has Zope been used with mapping integration (like GPS) anywhere?

I'm not aware of anything, but it probably wouldn't be too hard (says the Perl weenie) to make it play with something like MapIt. "MapIt! is a simple Web-mapping application implemented in Python that lets you navigate raster-maps through your Web browser. It lets you zoom in and out, and select objects and object classes that are highlighted on the map. MapIt! can be integrated with an existing Web server in several ways: as a CGI-script, Fast-CGI, or in Apache with mod_python. It can also serve GIS results over the Web." http://www.mapit.de/index.en.html On Tue, 3 Apr 2001, Gary Graham wrote:

We did some evaluations on open source GIS tools and built a prototype based on ArsDigita's PMS, we called it BlueGis you can check it out at: http://www2.bluedynamics.com:8080/BlueDynamics/products/products.htm PMS/BlueGis is written in java, of course it would be fine to have such a beast written in Python. But that's not a weekend job :) unfortunately it had some stability prolems, we combined it with a watchdog to keep it alive permanently. phil *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 03.04.2001 at 15:15 Gary Graham wrote:

Well, I'm in the process of integrating zope with GMT (generic mapping tools) for the purpose of generating dynamic maps. It'll be a few more weeks before it goes into production though. It's nothing clever at the moment - I'm basically just marshalling the arguments, doing external system calls to gmt & caching the results/images. I'm also overlaying GPS positions from a postgresql database. There will be some clever bits, but I don't want to mention what might not work! I'll produce a howto if I feel I achieved anything worthy, HTH, Ivan
