FOSSGIS/Server/Projects/staticmaps
This is old project documentation of a tool which was developed initially as GSoC project "StaticMaps" by Pawel Niechoda. Static Maps API was deployed and run as a service for short time. It was possibly also the inspiration for development of a more successful later one called StaticMapsLite.

Kurze Beschreibung des ProjektesFreie Alternative zu Google Static Maps API Statische Karten sind dann sinnvoll, wenn
Dieses Projekt strebt eine Kompatibilität zu Google Static Maps API an. Momentan werden nur Marker unterstützt. Keine anderen Overlays wie zB Polygone etc. Die ausgegebene Karte wird von dem Script aus Tiles {Z}/{X}/{Y} erzeugt. Es können neue Quellen definiert werden (zB Cloudmade gestylte Karten, freie Satellitenbilder etc.). WMS wäre denkbar. |
Short description of your projectFree alternative to Google Static Maps API Static maps are useful, if
This project aims to be compatible to Google Static Maps API. At this moment only markes are implemented. No overlays, polygon etc yet. The output map is generated using tile images {Z}/{X}/{Y}. You can define new tile sources easily (eg cloudmade sytled tiles, satellite images etc.) WMS is on the road map.
