Ming

Ming is a SWF output library with PHP/Python/Perl mappings... roll your own Flash... unfortunately getting it compiled on OS X isn't exactly straight forward. A possible patch is here

Could be cool to draw GPS maps with this... could have the trails draw themselves...

    I have only begun to figure this thing out. A couple of cool features I haven't found elsewhere: Gives the extent of the current map and let's you draw Area of Interest (AOI) boxes.

MapQuest

  • Main page: MapQuest: Maps: Lat / Long
  • Coverate: World
  • Notes:

    Can only (have to) mark the center with a red star, only one size map. (I think they used to have a lot of configuration options, but those seem to be gone now.)

TIGER Map Server

  • Main page: TIGER Map Server
  • Info: Mapsurfer Feedback and FAQs
  • Coverate: USA
  • Notes:

    Use the "Marker URL" to reference a file of locations to be marked on the map. Format is one line for each location, formatted:

    <longitude deg>,<latitude deg>:<marker>:<caption>
    The <marker>'s look like blupin, green5, etc...
