ownMaps Quickstart

For a full installation included in your own website please refer to Documentation.

 

Installation

Download latest release, unpack ZIP-file and copy the contents of the folder ownmaps with its subfolders d and i into the root directory of your empty website.

An index page index.php is included so that you can start right now without programming anything.

 

Map Data

For each map you have to create at least one data file including the following information for each POI divided by #:

# icon # latitude # longitude # title # information #

If your information starts with http the link will be displayed in a new window. Otherwise the information is shown in a text box.

Copy the map data file with the extension .map into the data directory d and you are ready to display the map.

You can use more than one map data file at once and decide which ones to display when showing the map.

 

Geo Data

Just copy your GeoJSON or KML data files into the data directory d and they will be shown on your map.

 

Extended Data

The extended data will be used to define not only marker and info windows within the map data file but polylines, polygons, rectangles, circles, external data and much more.
