MapFish

MapFish is an easy-to-use and extensible web GIS application.

MapFish is composed of two parts: MapFish Client and MapFish Server. MapFish Client is a JavaScript framework based on OpenLayers for the mapping part, and on ExtJs for the GUI (widgets) part. MapFish Server is Python framework based on Pylons.

MapFish is intended to be easy to use either as a standalone application or as an addon to an already existing web application.

As a standalone application, MapFish offers ways to simply configure some parameters and quickly have a working web-GIS. But MapFish can also be simply included in an already existing website such as CMS or Information System oriented applications.

• Routing: perform routing queries and display the result on a map. demo
