OpenLayers synes at være den foretrukne (open source) javascript map viewer platform. Herhjemme har både KMS og KRAK taget den til sig og personligt har jeg også kun positive ting at sige om 'produktet'.

OpenLayers seems to be the preferred (open source) javascript map vierwer platform. In Denmark two large organizations, KMS and KRAK, have chosen it as their development platform. Personally I too only have positive experiences with 'the product'.
