[clug] ACT Map i and SVG

[Alex (Maxious) Sadleir]

The old SVG version is available at http://203.9.249.3/actmapi.asp

Why did they even buy this $7000+ Silverlight solution (Geocortex
Essentials)? ESRI ArcGIS Server has a **free** javascript slippy map
**which is enabled on this server**
http://203.9.249.4/actmapi/rest/services/Raster/imagery_2009_dopm/MapServer?f=jsapi

You can even access that server using FOSS for GIS like Quantum GIS or
JOSM! Just add the WMS server URLs
"http://203.9.249.4/actmapi/services/WMS/basicWMS/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS"
and "http://203.9.249.4/actmapi/services/WMS/tpWMS/MapServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS"
