Compliance testing gone wild…


After years of supporting an IE / Windows web map, I am going to make darned sure that our next-gen application is cross-browser. Tonight I kicked it up a notch and tested the platform the kool kids are using this year: Opera on Wii!

Here are some screen shots; I was amazed that it worked (mostly):

Opening CemeteryMap from my Wii favourites

There she is... evidence that these screenshots aren't mockups

And... it works!

But how the heck do I print?

Anyone know how to print from a Wii? ;)

This app is not really ready for public consumption yet (problems with data) but you can have a look at it if you want:

Nanaimo Cemetery Map Development Site

It uses MapGuide Open Source and the new Fusion framework being developed by DM Solutions Group. We have used the same platform to develop a mobile boulevard mowing management application, and have a full rewrite of our MapGuide 6.5 application underway as well.

    Be careful as you develop your web services. You won’t want to let unauthorized people do this:

    POST /cemeterymap/ HTTP/1.1
    Host: http://mapsdevel.nanaimo.ca

    Collin, Rayburn, Nars, Trebek
    Zabars, Kresge, Caldor, Walmart

    Hey, we would welcome the traffic… if it reduced our physical security costs. Nothing like a good zombie or two to keep out the riffraff.

    IMO, the wiimote makes a wonderful input device for mapping applications. If it had something similar to a mouse wheel, then it’d be perfect!

    Hmm. I wonder if we could hack the nunchuck to provide this function? Brings a new meaning to Map-Fu!
