Project Description
PleiadesOpenLayers allows you to embed a "slippy" AJAX map application in your site. Rather than use a proprietary javascript API from Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft, we've opted for the open source alternative: OpenLayers. The PleiadesOpenLayers product applies a handy patch to OpenLayers and wraps it in a Plone skin. The main advantages over a GYM map are the freedom to design your own base map (from a WMS) and the ability to use your Plone site CSS to style map elements. For example, see the ploneful popup box and user icons overlaid on the map in the attached screenshot.
