Add new geoweb services #16

Open JasonSanford opened 12 years ago

JasonSanford commented 12 years ago

It would be quite easy to add new geoweb service providers to what's here currently (AGS, A2E, GeoIQ). Some other options are:

Google Fusion Tables - do they allow bbox searches or can you just use FT through the GMaps API?

What about geoserver for self-hosted data?

JasonSanford commented 12 years ago

What protocol would you expect to fetch data from GeoServer? WFS, WMS, etc?

writercoder commented 12 years ago

I'd expect WFS would be best for vector data but it does look a little heavyweight. Maybe a simple json server to return PostGIS data would be easier.

JasonSanford commented 12 years ago

Yeah, I'd be interested in the latter. If someone else is interested in writing something to query/parse a WFS service I'd be glad to add it.

What about MapFish protocol ? http://trac.mapfish.org/trac/mapfish/wiki/MapFishProtocol

JasonSanford commented 12 years ago

Yep, I think this could easily be added. Created a separate issue at #36.

Maybe GeoCouch JSON data from CouchDB would be simple to implement?

JasonSanford commented 12 years ago

Seems reasonable. bbox search is available which is really all that is needed. Created a separate issue at #37.
