geolocation - developing location/map based web site -


I want to start developing a map-based web site. First of all, I ordered the regulation of just one GPS device to test the site, later I would like to use the GPS and other cell devices of the iPhone. That's why I need some very common.

I have searched the web for map-based development framework and many of them come from: Geo Server, Map Server, Open Layer, Geoxt, Google Maps API, and more.

I'm not an experienced web developer (a C ++ kind of person) so I need some very simplicity, though strong at the same time. Besides, I need freebies, and the licensing problem below the road will not be the problem.

First of all I need real capabilities because in my time GPS data is displayed on my website

thanks

Client

I had to go with the open layer - this is an open source javascript similar to the Google Maps API or Bing API Client library is However, the Open Layer will free you from any licensing concerns or change the API because the source is available and can be modified - it is not in the case of Google / Bing / Yahoo API. However, you can use the data of these services as layers in the open layer and if they are suddenly filled with advertising or commercial bans, then leave them.

Take a look at the examples to see if there is someone you can use to apply your first test application -

GeoExtJS is a collection of additional tools and widgets ExtJS - Open Source on top of another Javascript framework which works with OpenLayers. ExtJs is mainly used for creating user interfaces - data entry form, grids etc. using javascript to display in browser.

If you are looking for a paste structure to turn the layers on and off and other advanced UI widgets, then GeoExtJS is worth searching.

Server

If you are displaying only the points, you can create dynamic KML or GeoJSON on your web server and reference it in the open layers. You can. All languages ​​have libraries that you can build on. Python has become a major language in geospatial technologies, and it has GeoJSON libraries that you can do with scripts.

GeoServer and MapServer are both server-side programs that allow you to provide spatial data from the database with symbolology, labeling, etc. If you have many different datasets then it is worth setting the time of expense

MapServer is written in C ++, so this is easy for you - although you need any expert server sideware Especially if you have X, Y / Lane, Late values ​​in your data which can easily be placed as a digit.
