[ka-Map-users] Design goals: Combining WMS servers and launching with zoom an layer parameters?

[Paul Spencer]

Stephan,

1 & 2 are not currently supported and are not likely to be since 
MapBuilder, Chameleon and others already do stuff like this.  ka-Map 
would be more of a plug-in to those systems.

A custom application could be built on top of ka-Map to do these things, 
but I wouldn't be interested in putting it into the mainstream version 
of ka-Map

<shameless plug>
If you are interested in having a custom app developed, contact me off-list.
</shameless plug>

Cheers

Paul
