RiMap - interactive map server
Create own map server on your site with RiMap.
RiMap plots interactive street maps of USA cities, towns and villages.
Script uses data from Census TIGER/Line files, converted into own binary format.
You can plot different layers of data and add your own
data to be plotted over created image. Script can be used
in connection with store locator or on real estate site
to show location of your stores or available property
to your customers.
RiMap is written in Perl and does not require any external GIS software,
therefore it can be used practically on any webserver and you can easily modify it
or add new features. Short description of script with list of features
and configuration options can be obtained here.
Core functions of this script are released under GPL license.
Extended version with additional functions
(see demo below)
can be obtained for small fee.
Features
- Script plots US highways, state highways, local roads, railroads, rivers and shoreline
of oceans, lakes and big rivers.
- Some area features (like rivers, lakes, parks or forests) can be shaded
with different colors.
- Zooming and paning function.
- Street labels are attached to streets.

Why RiMap?
- RiMap is the only map server written in Perl. You don't have to compile and install
any executables, it will work on any webserver with Perl and GD library installed.

and then easily transfer to server.
- RiMap can be ordered with huge dataset covering entire USA or with small
dataset for one county only.
- RiMap can be easily integrated into site design using templates and color schemes.
- Unlimited number of locations and POI (points of interest) can be added
and plotted on maps.
- New features can be programmed for additional price.
