Hi, If you have already Mapserver running and available, why don't you create static maps in geotiff format (or ecw or something else) and use those as background while doing off-line work? WCS service is just made for that. I am usually making 5000 by 5000 pixel geotiffs but they can be larger if needed.

The field data will be put into an SQLite database. I would like OSM maps as a background to give context to the data the user enters. I have a Debian-based Mapserver serving WMS/WFS from a PostGIS database to Openlayers on a website, but I'm finding this offline project more of a challenge to put the pieces in place. ;) Andy -- Andy PGP Key ID: 0xDC1B5864 _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users _______________________________________________ Mapnik-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/mapnik-users
