Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] How to make a map on a CD [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Christian Willmes]

Hi bobb,

I know of an OpenSource based toolchain for creating 3D-PDF with Meshlab 
and LaTex. (Actually I think I got the link from this list a while back, 
but it could be also from an other list...)


Here is a blog post about it (in german):
http://www.goermezer.de/content/view/486/544/

And here the the google translation, which is quite ok to understand 
whats going on i think:

http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=de&ie=UTF-8&sl=de&tl=en&u=http://www.goermezer.de/content/view/486/544/&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhh8ysRV3KQF-MqwBci54ZRjcVS-eg

best regards,
Christian

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] How to make a map on a CD

[Alexis "Agemen"]

Hi everybody !

As OrbisGIS is written in Java, it may be possible to use it directly
on a cd, independently of the OS. I don't know how you could do this,
though. And this software support shp reading ;-)

I hope that it will help !

Greetings,

Alexis.

Hello,

I used the LiveDVD OSGeo to make a presentation yesterday and works just fine!!!
http://live.osgeo.org/index.html

I know that it´s possible to put on a USB driver too.

It is an open Standard. Both OGC 08-139r1 and ISO 32000. However, I've
never seen it used outside of the Adobe/ESRI scope, so a better
question is what OS software either support rendering or displaying
GeoPDFs?

Considering my impressions of the state of GeoPDF, I don't think it

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] How to make a map on a CD

[Christian Willmes]

Hello Leith,

I did not used this software yet, so I do not know if it is good, but 
maybe Geopublisher would match your needs?


-> http://en.geopublishing.org/

From the Website:
" The Geopublisher 1.4 
 software allows the creation 
and publication of multimedia atlases. It has been developed for users 
like scientists, consultants and institutions that want to communicate 
their research results to the general public. The primary aim is to 
deliver a software that reduces the technical obstacles in publishing 
geo-data to a minimum. Your final product will be a user-friendly atlas 
which can easily be used by people who are not familiar with GIS 
."


best regards,
Christian

I see that MapWindow lets you build a custom viewer application around 
its map viewer, but it would only work on Windows.
Another idea I have is to make some sort of portable web server that 
runs GeoServer or MapServer.


Otherwise I could start developing my own custom map viewer that uses

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] How to make a map on a CD [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Bob Basques]

Leith,

I've managed to have GeoMoose run from a USB drive, complete with 
MapServer and PHP, nothing get's copied, you run everything from USB, 
even Apache.  Makes for a nice development environment, since you as a 
developer have complete control from front to back for the user 
experience.  When was the last time a developer had control over what 
browser was being used . . .


:c)

Anyway, I need to package the thing up and put it somewhere.   It didn't 
take me too long to get it all going, but there are currently a lot of 
pieces to it, and my plan before posting a package was to make it a 
single button start up affiar, just haven't gotten back to it for a 
couple of moths.  Too much other stuff going on.
