The MapServer Gallery is a community-driven page 👍 where you can list your MapServer application (including MapServer-driven WMS, WFS, OGC services, MapCache, TinyOWS), and details, to help show new users the power of MapServer. Please share your application by adding it below, using the same (Markdown) format, and respecting the alphabetical order of the sites:

  • site: Buenos Aires City Interactive Map
