WMS Map Viewer ( ) is a http/JavaScript application for visualizing, combining and indexing web maps. The above observations sketch the major motivations for building the application that I developed called WMS Map Viewer. Usually organizations and companies build their own applications web or mobile that provide exclusive access to their maps on a way that isolates their map content from other publicly available map sources. As a result, accessing web maps using general purpose tools suitable both for the office and for the field is not an easy task. Interactive web maps, in many situations, are replacing traditional paper maps for field work as well in the office.ĭespite the usefulness of web maps, the standards of operation are not uniformly supported by internet browsing applications so additional software or plugins are required for access.
Web maps provide a useful and interactive experience for accessing geographic information.
