I have a doubt when you say "create a layer on the fly parsing <br>some KML or GML". How this layer will be rendered? Mapserver,<br>PHP, or another?<br><br>I will try to read more the about KML, and GML and related

Hi Pedro,<br><br>
<br>> Lorenzo,<br>><br>> Thanks for the reply. I'm very interested in ka-Map project<br>> because I'm working on a company's open-source GIS<br>> project. This project consists in a GIS web-system with<br>
> aerial images and geographic data of a city. The nice is
<br>> that all aerial images, geographic data, and web-system<br>> source code will be available to download for free.<br>><br>> So, any improvement I will make in ka-Map (if needed to)<br>> will be posted to you guys of ka-Map Dev Team!
<br><br><br>:-)<br><br><br>> Tim said:<br>><br>> ... "I can imagine three broad categories of use cases that<br>> determine how tile.php should be used. [...]<br>><br>> Use cases:<br>><br>> 1) Static Data/Infrequent Updates - file or database data that is
<br>> updated infrequently<br>> ------------------------------------------------------------<br>><br>> This is what I looking for!<br><br><br>that's ka-Map. If you do nothing that's what ka-map will do: caching.
<br>If you don't force redraw or delete the cache dir you could even<br>delete datasources: no more requests from the mapserver.<br><br><br><br>><br>> Yesterday I've downloaded the CVS version of ka-Map and I saw the
<br>> "pre-cache.php ". What I have to do is only execute this script?<br>> I have to set up ka-Map to accept the pre-generated tiles<br>> without re-rendering these tiles later?<br><br><br>please, have a look to old posts. We already answered this question
<br>in March.<br><br>anyway, here's the answer:<br><a href="http://ka-map.ominiverdi.org/wiki/index.php?PreCache" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://ka-map.ominiverdi.org/wiki/index.php?PreCache
</a><br><br>Many question can find an answer in the Wiki.
<br>If you see something is missing please contribute.<br><br>If you do a public application post the URL. We will comment together.<br><br><br>><br>> Well, about the shape highlight feature I will think about it a little
<br>> and post come comments later.<br><br><br>Let me know. If you don't want or cannot develop it on you own: I'm<br>available.<br>:-)<br><br><br>ciao<br>Lorenzo<br></blockquote></span></div><div></div></div><div><span class="sg">
