如何使用Simile的时间轴和地图创建防火墙隔离页面？

Question

I have experimented with Simile's exhibit and have saw the usefulness of the graphical display via a prototype implementation on machines which have access to the internet. We have to migrate the prototype from the open internet to a closed intranet, where only internal servers are available.

The timeline seems feasible, but maps dependency on Google seems a deal breaker.

Answer 1

The Google Maps API Terms require that your map is free and available to the public. If you want to put it on a private intranet, you'll have to purchase the Premier version

Answer 2

It's possible to use OpenLayers maps in a simile exhibit project. See the docs at:

Answer 3

You might be interested in the Timemap.js library (disclaimer: this is my project), which offers utilities for using a SIMILE Timeline widget with maps from a variety of providers, including OpenLayers. Example here: http://timemap.googlecode.com/svn/tags/2.0/examples/basic_openlayers.html

OpenLayers can be used on a closed network, as long as you can provide map tiles locally.
