They can also try OSGeo Live on their computers to have a full Operating System with everything included before installing more software on their computers, and also trying a Linux flavor :-) http://live.osgeo.org/en/index.html Cheers On 15 December 2016 at 18:31, Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul) <

Hey Jeff, No problem. I'm just happy Geomoose could build on your great work to make web mapping on Windows easy. And did I thank you yet for including Mapcache (and a sample mapcache.xml file) in MS4W? Thanks! Best Regards, Brent Fraser On 12/15/2016 10:29 AM, Jeff McKenna wrote:

Puneet, I’ll second Brent and Jeff on the MS4W/GeoMOOSE approach. With those two packages installed you end up with a fully functional demo which can be used as a reference to set up their local data. And once you have it working in Windows, you will be in a much better position to examine

Thanks Brent, rude of me not to mention GeoMOOSE, Mapbender, OpenLayers3, and the other applications that are already configured for download with MS4W. Puneet, you can see more about those pre-configured applications here: http://ms4w.com/download.html MS4W distributes about 1TB of data and

Puneet, To get them started, have a look at MS4W and Geomoose. MS4w is a Windows friendly install of apache, mapserver, etc. Geomoose is an easy to customize (edit a little XML and a map file) implementation of OpenLayers with a great demo web app and integrated with MS4W.

This is exactly where MS4W shines: it includes Apache, MapServer, GDAL, all of the scripting plugins (for PHP, Python, etc.), but most importantly it includes 60+ working example configuration files ("mapfiles") for connecting to your data, including a working OpenLayers3 mapfile. Check it

hello OSGeo, I am helping some friends migrate their work to a real GIS (from a hodgepodge of AutoCad and MS-Excel spreadsheets). Unfortunately, for me, they use Windows (the last time I used Windows was 1997). I will try and convince them to start using some kind of Linux, at least for their
