Hi, I've just started using Mapserver and have a question, that could help me to cut corners.
1) I have a lot of S57 charts in different scale groups 1-6. 2) It should be simple to maintain the map data (a lot of upgrades). 3) Of course, it should be fast. Strategy of today: I have the original data stored in the original format on ram disk. I have one map file that INCLUDEs all "layer" files (one per chart). The layer files defines the all the interesting chart features (layers) and the max scale. I was thinking that I only shall use max scale, not min scale, because if I don't have a chart with a larger scale a certain position when I zoom in, then I shall at least see a chart. Even if has a to small scale for this zoom. I don't have any spatial restrictions on each layer or layer file, just for the map file -90, -180, 90, 180 (i.e no limits) Is it possible to have spatial limitations on a layer? When I use this strategy the map server chokes then I zoom in too much. I can see that the map configuration could be done in a lot of different ways, How would your strategy be? Kind regards, Paul
