The Ptolemy Maps Server Triscape's Ptolemy Maps Server allows you to install the entire USA road map onto your own web server. It consists of map data, server software and client software. Server Image maps use an IMG tag for the map that fetches a compressed bitmap file with the requested map image from the server. Use Ptolemy to build custom annotated maps on a per-user basis. For example, real estate sites can present maps with clickable house icons for all listings meeting the user's search criteria.
Users can navigate their custom map and click on house locations to see associated listing pages.
Plato scripts can be embedded in your web pages or run on your server to generate custom maps with clickable site icon links and other annotations. The resulting map pages can integrate with your site using your own custom HTML templates.
