RE: Maps
Thanks Bryan Mike - Bryan Lentz [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Hi, Peak Geodesign has great mapping software with a very reasonable cost .compared to most other mapping programs. It is pretty fast and has in the past worked very well on older PC's http://www.colorview-peak.com/ Check them out they may be able to Help.

Re: Maps
You can give each map an X,Y coordinate number. Have a table with MAPID, XCord, YCord and FileName as the columns. Then, you can surround each map with links to the adjoining X,Y coords, hit the database to get the file names. You can populate the links dynamically using whatever sequencing method you use to assign the X,Y coordinates to each map.

We have a solution dynamic mapping for Coldfusion using MapInfo as a dynamic map generator. the maps are gifs drawn in real time. zoom in/out, pan, find nearest, populate the map with various POI, etc, etc. it's of course an OEM tool need integration with your specific maps. Our development box is win2000, access 2000, IIS 5, CF which matches our hosting ISP. The database will move over to SQL7 mid year. as you must know, access sucks at any volume. I doubt the rate of queries to support our dynamic mapping solution will be supported by Access. ESRI/Eagle Technology donated ArcView for producing the maps.

For our CF MapInfo dynamic GIS, you'd need MapInfo MapxSite license, plus our stuff. not cheap.

Re: Maps
Thanks Len for your suggestion We will still use ArcIMS accessed via a password area for community groups to change their maps. This will be hosted elsewhere. ESRI has been helping us out so would be a bit opportunist to jump ship. The maps will be batch generated and stored as static jpeg files accessed via the coldfusion site for general public to look at or download.

Re: Maps
Hi Dave That seems a very workable solution. We have 2 sites. The main site is 50,000 static pages plus images. The coldfusion site and database back ends it within frames and is totally dynamic. I guess the CF site can mine the static one for maps with the system you suggest.

Re: Maps
ESRI/Eagle Technology donated ArcView for producing the maps. ARCIMS Server is an option but it requires high bandwidth and IE5. We need a simpler solution to cater for conservationists with old browsers/pcs and slow modems. my shop like yours is a not-for-profit environment organization we're a dyed-in the-wool ESRI shop. i, for one, applaud your loyalty to ESRI. that company has been nothing but good to the environment/conservation movement for as long as i can remember. arcIMS is a pretty good product the fact that it comes with a cf connector just shows you how smart ESRI is ;-) but it can be a bear to feed care for. that said, if bandwidth hardware (your arcIMS server needs to be darned powerful) are issues and since it seems you already have the data, you might take a look at mapserver from the univ of minnesota: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/index.html fast, free opensource. reads shapefiles as well as connects to arcSDE (and oracle spatial, postGIS, etc.) and handles geocoded imagery in a number of formats (geoTIFF for instance). comes out-of-the box in a cgi flavor that works quite well with cf. here's a simple cf/cgi mapserver app: http://www.tei.or.th/eic/maps/efaults/index.cfm mapserver's not nearly as functional as arcIMS, but it suits most of the internet GIS users' basic needs. i strongly urge you to have a look at this product. we've ported (alpha) mapserver to a cfx tag (and somehow lost the arcSDE functionality) for even tighter connection to cf (if you want to be beat black blue with alpha cfx_mapServer, drop me a line off-list). --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
