Open Layers Issue…

Date: 10/03/2010 – recorded on paper records

The application built on the server side API will also plug into a client side API which involves using Open Layers, another (yes another!) API which deals with the map window and locations.

There have been serious issues implementing this and getting our data talking to the Open Layers framework. There have also been big issues using projections. Most of our data is stored in a British projection, aligned to the OS grid however to support worldwide mapping we must use a global projection which is the Google Web Mercator.
