MapIt! is a web-application that lets you navigate raster-maps through
your web-browser and lets you zoom in and out and select objects and
object classes that are highlighted on the map.

MapIt! is Free Software licensed under LGPL (GNU Library General Public
License). See COPYING for details.

MapIt! can be used as a CGI-Application and should work with all
HTTP-servers. There's also a faster version based on fast CGI that works
with Apache and Roxen Challenger among others. Finally, there's a
mod_python based interface which only works with Apache, but runs under
both Unix and Windows. 

For demonstration purposes only, there's also a very simple
MapIt!-specific web-server that you can use to try out MapIt!. You can
invoke it from MapIt!'s top-directory with:

  python src/frontends/mapitserver.py

You can then reach the server with http://localhost:31415/
