CartoWeb is an open source Web-based Mapping Framework developed by CampToCamp and released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It has some pretty neat features such as ability to generate PDF map reports, ability for users to mark-up maps and save the markups as well as saving zoom short-cuts and for more advanced setups includes some PgRouting features. It is currently at version 3.4.
The underlying achitecture of CartoWeb is built on top of well-known standards
- UMN Mapserver
- PHP 5+
- PHP Smarty Templating Engine
- PostgreSQL, PostGIS and PgRouting for more advanced setups
It runs on both Linux/Unix and Windows. We have also successfully gotten it working on IIS 6 as well as windows apache.
The upcoming version of Cartoweb 4.0+ will integrate OpenLayers Javascript toolkit as well for even more flexibility when integrating with other web-based applications.
