INTRODUCTION
From the MapServer Homepage [4]:
MapServer [5] is an OpenSource [6] development environment for
building spatially enabled Internet applications. Melbourne Wireless
use MapServer [7] to draw maps in LocFinder [8], as shown in the maps
below.

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
Please do not add LocFinder [10] bugs here, this section is for map
rendering issues only.
FEATURE REQUESTS
* SignalPropagation [11] coverage data to be generated by LocFinder
[12] and shown as an optional layer
* Coloured Contour Maps that look like this image:
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 Cross-Sectional View [13] 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!
