yUser,
I think it's more a client specific issue, what you are looking for.
Mapserver is able to serve your street-maps , but it is not a client
(=user interface), which googlemaps also delivers.
Perhaps you should have a look on OpenLayes, if you look for a good
replacement on that side.
Some answers:
1. OSM (www.openstreetmap.org) - you'll have to set them up as
mapserver-maps and in mapserver you may make them look like the googlemap.
2. see openlayers (wqww.openlayers.org)
3. definitively scriptable but I think there is nothing out-of.the box.
One week is not many, specially if you are not familar with the mapping
stuff in general and mapserver and/or openlayers or other client-side
software...
Regards, Till

Hello, Am new to MapServer. What I am trying to achieve is the
following: I have a Google Maps web application which shows bicycle
routes. Users can then search from those bicycle routes (javascript).
As I am learning more about MapServer I am also wondering if migrating
from using Google Maps to MapServer will work for this particular
application. 1. Any ideas about finding City of Toronto Routes and
Street data? (I found some data but I am wondering if they will have a
similar look and feel like the Google Maps - maybe not too cool but
should be good enough to see streets and roads rather than just line
segements). 2. Other than that I will have to allow users some
capability to draw polylines on the map. Does the MapServer scripting
allow drawing of polylines? 3. If there are points on a map and if a
bounding box rectangle is drawn on the map, can the MapServer script
allow finding which points are within the bounding box (with lat/lng
cooordinates)? Hoping to get all of this done within 1 week or so..I
hope this is a reasonable time estimate for this migration. If you
have ideas about this, please let me know? Thanks.
