[Freegis-list] free software vs. free services

[Hugo Ahlenius]

Great!

But more... is there some portal/index page of such things (or could this be
something for freegis.org... ?)



Cheers, Hugo

 |  There are a number of organizations supplying free 
 |  services, at least
 |  when it comes to OGC WMS implementations. There are many that are
 |  known to specific communities that are perhaps not ready to 
 |  be pounded
 |  on by the general public. However, there are some that have 
 |  been quite
 |  openly advertised. These would include
 |  
 |  http://www2.demis.nl/mapserver/Mapper.asp
 |  http://www.cubewerx.com/demo/cubeview/cubeview.cgi
 |  
 |  In both cases, you can find the entry point to the WMS by doing a
 |  "view image" on the map and looking at the resulting map URL.
 |  
 |  You can also find some nifty embeddable tools at
 |  http://ceonet.ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca/cs/en/index.html that let 
 |  you add maps
 |  and gazetteers to your web site.
