MapGuide Open Source is a web-based platform that enables users to quickly develop and deploy web mapping applications and geospatial web services.
Interactive Map Viewing
* Offers an AJAX Viewer (pure DHTML no plug-in required) or a vector-based DWF Viewer (requires an ActiveX Control) with a common user interface and JavaScript API
* AJAX Viewer offers a tiled map display for smooth navigation
* Allows feature selection by point, rectangle, radius, or polygon with immediate feedback
* Displays feature properties in multi-line tool tips
* Displays properties of the selected feature in a property browser panel
* Supports feature buffering, querying features that fall within selected polygons, and a tool for measuring distance
* Provides printing and plotting support
Quality Cartographic Output
* Scale-dependent detail
* Rule-driven thematic layer stylization
* Dynamic labeling with overpost detection, labels that follow the path of a line, and automatic label resizing
* Anti-aliased image rendering
* True color support
* TrueType font support
Built-in Resource Database for Manageability
* Provides hierarchical storage of XML resource documents that define maps, layers, data connections, symbology, and viewer layout
* Allows you to define data sources and layers once and then reference them from multiple maps
* Provides an access-based security model with inheritable permissions
* Permits metadata and binary data to be associated with resource documents
Uniform Data Access
* Exclusive use of the Feature Data Objects (FDO) API for vector and raster feature data access
o Support for ESRI SHP and SDF vector file formats
o Support for ESRI ArcSDE, MySQL, ODBC database formats
o Support for Raster file formats via GDAL
o Support for OGC WMS and WFS
* Exclusive use of DWF for CAD-based data access
Flexible Application Development
* Write your application logic once within the web server environment and it will work with either viewer on any client
* Develop your applications in PHP, .NET, or Java
Extensive Server-Side APIs
* Create, query, read, and write permanent and session based XML resource documents
* Query and update feature data across all supported data sources, including spatial and attribute data, and schema discovery
* Perform coordinate reprojection and great circle distance computation
* Create, manipulate, and analyze geometry with support for spatial predicates based on the DE-9IM model, overlay functions (intersection, union, difference, symmetric difference), buffer, convex hull, area, and distance functions
* Produce stylized vector and raster maps and legends
* Manipulate runtime maps and layers, add / remove / change layers, change layer and group visibility, modify the definition of a layer, and alter the current view
Fast, Scalable, Secure Server Platform
* Fully multi-threaded and takes advantage of multi-core / multi-processor technology
* Multiple servers can be configured as one logical site to improve scalability
* FastCGI based Map Agent loads once and stays loaded for use with both Apache and Microsoft IIS
* Database connections are pooled and shared between users, improving performance
* Tile caching ensures map image tiles are only rendered once for the AJAX Viewer no matter how many users are viewing the map
* Connection-oriented, role-based security
* Configurable logging of client access, administrative access, authentication attempts, errors, session lifetimes, and request tracing
* Web-based site administration allows remote site and server configuration, and log file access
Multiple Platform Support
* Deploy on Microsoft Windows or Linux
* Serve applications with Apache or Microsoft IIS
* Browse applications with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Safari
Open Geospatial Consortium Standards
* Web Map Service
* Web Feature Service
