New Version of MapGuide Open Source

Mar 9th, 2006 | By | Category: General, WebMapping

Autodesk has announced a new version of what used to be Mapserver Enterprise – which was just Mapserver but then combined with Autodesk to be split into Mapserver and Mapserver Enterprise – but has now been renamed MapGuide Open Source (confused yet? I am!) This open source version is hosted by the Open Source Geospatial Foundation. The feature set is pretty cool, including an AJAX type viewer, support for a bunch of different file types, a fairly platform independent environment, and what looks like some impressive extensibility features. We at VS haven’t had a chance to play with this product, but I think I’ll move it up on my “to do” list.
