hello list,
because i was aggregating the information anyway, i made a simple openguides map service for the London guide, i thought people might be interested in this, e.g.:
http://map.wirelesslondon.info/map/openguides?zoom=3
There's no styling to speak of, & this service just plots all the geo:SpatialThings it knows about within the bounding box shown on the map. There is a simple CGI-drivable interface that lets you do a bit more, http://map.wirelesslondon.info/dev/map/ illustrates that.
The hope is to start aggregating street data from (and contributing to) http://openstreetmap.org/ , that will enhance the base map layer... also to do a UK-wide one useful for consume.net usign a WMS, web map service for the data - again the grainy satellite pictures, but useful for something? and i will start tyring to aggregate spatial stuff from other OGs as well ;)
Anyway, i'd like to work this map service into something useful for OG - the idea with the above URL is it can be displayed in an iframe a-la google maps. What kind of things would you want to plot at once? As now, you can just generate text files and post the URLs of them, i would also like to be able to do this with RSS feeds, that will be implemented soon if people want it...
