RE: [OpenMap Users] CADRG

Hi,

Does anyone have any sample applications that would help illustrate
simple use of OpenMap API?

I am supposed to recommend a tool to a client for GIS and it seems like
OpenMap has the features to handle the requirements. What I am finding
myself extremely frustrated about is lack of any type of demo code,
detailed guide to the API, tutorials and such.

Learning curve is an issue. I understand that BBN's business model is
based on support of OpenMap, but I can't recommend to a client that they
spend $10,000 for a couple of days of training to figure out how hard or
easy it is to use OpenMap's APIs. I also cannot spend months figuring
out the API. It's like asking someone to learn JavaSpec, give them the
API docs and tell him to go learn it! It's a task no one would take with
ease. Tutorials are needed.

If anyone else out there are having the same frustrations, please tell
me so I now I am not missing something here. If, on the other hand, you
feel that I've missed something, please point it out to me ASAP. The
tool is free and would obviously save a lot of money in the end, so it
would be a shame to lose out on that.

Thank you.
