Hi André,
it depends pretty much of what you plan to do. If you need just one web
mapping application, with routing and other functionnalities, you should
actually use one of these (CartoWeb has a routing module based on
pgDjikstra). You will save a lot of time because you won't have to
develop zoom, query, tooltip function and so on.
But if what you need is more specific, and evolutive or highly
integrated to some already running web app, then you should start from
scratch.
Hope that helps,

I have a question?
Should I use only Mapserver or not?
As I gone through the manual (Mapserver Opensource Development) it looks
like with php development and porstgresql, I could be aqble to do prity much
everything I want to do. It would probably be able to do routing also.
Having said that, Products like Mapbender, Cameleon and Cartoweb was
developed for good reasons. But to learn them also would require additional
time.
My question is, will it be well worth it to try learning one of these
products also, because the added value will be far more that the time
spend in trying to redevelop some of their functionality.

What is your view on this??
