I took a look at your map, this is great wonderful that you were already thinking along these lines. Looks like there are two issues here: (1) Getting the data points for users/developers maps, and (2) using the most appropriate mapping technology. I think we can use the Zeemaps service (

Hi Joshua, No, you should not need a plugin. Can you open the Firefox Javascript console and see if you get errors in Javascript? The mapping relies heavily on Javascript and sometimes that gives errors. I just tried it on Firefox 1.0 and it showed up okay. Let me know if the problem persi

Thanks. I looked at the Mapserver maps, and at first glance it seems Google Maps API provides better map images and more interactive features (zooming, panning, JS popups, satellite/map views, etc.) So, what would be the advantage of Mapserver apart from it being based on Open Source? We u

Hi, We've developed an automatic email mapping capability from Google Maps API. To try it out, we mapped origins of emails to this group from October 2, 2005 2 pm (EST) through October 14th, 9 am (EST). The result of this map is at: http://www.zeesource.net/maps/map.do?group=456 Woul
