* [#introduction Introduction] * [#rendering_issues Rendering Issues] * [#feature_requests Feature Requests] ---- ! Introduction From the (http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/ MapServer Homepage): MapServer is an OpenSource development environment for building spatially enabled Internet applications. Melbourne Wireless use MapServer to draw maps in LocFinder, as shown in the maps below. {/nodes/map?id=CIA&zoom=2 NodeAFH} {/cgi-bin/mapserv41?map=/home/mapserver/tc.map&imgext=145.18615+-37.881148+145.26487+-37.836992&mode=legend&zoom=3&imgxy=175+175&layer=interested&layer=waiting&layer=gathering&layer=building&layer=testing&layer=operational&layer=roads&layer=semiroads&layer=rivers&layer=contours Legend} ! Rendering Issues Currently, we have not got our maps/MapServer setup correct, there are issues with the way that maps are rendered. In the map above, the following issues need to be addressed: * Road names do not appear * Rivers appear as outlines only * Landmarks are not displayed * City names are not displayed Please do not add LocFinder bugs here, this section is for map rendering issues only. ! Feature Requests * SignalPropagation coverage data to be generated by LocFinder and shown as an optional layer * Coloured Contour Maps that look like this image: {http://users.bigpond.net.au/flett/wireless/ColouredContours.jpg Sample Coloured Contour Map} Maps like this give you a good at-a-glance view of the "lay of the land" and will greatly assist node-owners plan potential links. Whilst the info is not as specific as a [LocFinderCrossSections Cross-Sectional View] between two nodes, it does give a good overall idea. It should be fairly easy to implement - as easy as putting numbers on the contour lines! {/regexpicons/emoticons/emoticon-face1.png :)}
