* ((zWm)) Zhrodague WiFi Mapserver is up and running, almost completely automated. We accept Netstumbler text-files to plot points, and we've got some really dense maps for Massachusetts and Pennsylvania. This was created for the Pittsburgh Wireless Community, but has expanded to cover the world. Upload today! * http://mapserver.zhrodague.net * http://www.pghwireless.com |

Here is a list of all mapping software I know of which is useful for maintaining node maps for a community network. This does not include commercial applications which may or may not prove useful in the long run. -- AdamShand

Blast Base is maintained by DonPark and is a PHP and MySQL driven mapping engine. It uses MapBlast as the map engine but currently has no way of managing node data.

BrisbaneMesh's software is one of the more advanced offerings out there. I have no idea what it is written but it seems to use a mixture of MapBlast and topographical data.
PdxWireless' mapping software is maintained by CaseySpain and is primarily a Flash application but has some PHP/perl middle ware and uses PostgreSQL and MapBlast as the mapping engine.

["GAWD"] (the Global Wireless Access Database) is maintained by the ShmooGroup but has fallen into disrepair over the last few months. It is a perl, XML, MySQL combination to provide a node database but doesn't contain any actual mapping features.
LocFinder is maintained by DrewUlricksen of MelbourneWireless. It is a very full featured mapping program but apparently will not work for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. It uses MapBlast as the mapping engine.

- Line Of Sight by Miron Cuperman uses topo maps.
http://s.hyper.to/miron/cgi-bin/los.pl ( DOA as of 11/01/03 )
OpenMap is not OpenSource but does allow you access to the source. It's a java based tool which uses XML and other stuff. Looks interesting but is ugly like all java stuff is. http://openmap.bbn.com/
PersonalTelco's mapping software is maintained by MattHickey and is a perl, MySQL aplication which uses a combination of MapBlast and MapServer as the mapping engine. It is currently very new but under active developement. See MapSoftwareDevel and WnDb.
NoCat has a node database, Geocoding of addresses (generate a lat/long from a street address), and generates line of site profiles to our nodes.
- NodeDB.com's software was based upon brismesh's software, with major revisions to the internal math functions and removal of all needed external binaries, covers to date 500 geographical areas world wide, and 10,000 node locations.
RadioMobile merges topographic data with a description of node equipment to generate coverage maps. Not easy to use, but great for line-of-sight checks and coverage maps.
http://www.kcwireless.net/index.cgi?CoverageMap has example coverage maps for KCWireless.
SeattleWireless mapping software is also a mystery. It uses topographical maps but has no way to manage node data via the web.
- Wap-Map - I don't know that much about this. One nice feature is that itmakes the client load the map image dirctly from the map server and then use a local transparent PNG to overlay the node data.
