CartoGraf is an interactive web-based mapping application to enhance learning in history and geography classes in high schools.
CartoGraf makes is mainly based on Maps, Drawings, PluginAppFrame and Trackers. This is a great example of how to use profiles to use a general purpose app (Tiki) to make a very specific application.
It will be launched in June 2012.

Developer notes
- When you apply the profile, you may see "Preference set: geo_tilesets=Array" in the response. This is a cosmetic error. The preference is set correctly.
- If you want a search box (until it appears in the design), put in the AppFrame at CartoGraf_Map.{module name=map_search_location}
Questions
- Meta data about maps
- No current way to edit after creation
- Should we add a description text area which will end up in the space instead of "placeholder"?
- Should we add test users?
- ex.: demo/demo
- Map Legend
- For zones
- For POI icons?
- Where does it go?
- Map title
- Where does it go?
Bugs
- Drawing
- 2012-05-23: doesn't work on Street View images that are in pop-up (video sent to luci)
- 2012-05-23: Registered users don't have draw on image button
- 2012-05-23: Drawing works, but when you go back to view, SVG layer is visible but background in gone (but if you edit, it's OK)
- 2012-05-23: Drawing inteface is cluttered (too bigs, too many scrollbars)
- Maps
- 2012-05-23: IE9 is fine with OpenStreetMap but not the 3 Google layers
- 2012-05-23: Left hand grab and zoom icons should remain when in StreetView, TrackerInput and Draw mode
Todos
- Permit deletion of own entries and own zones
- Sharing & map selection: improve interface
- Add search box (which is currently in the tools section)
- Zone: is it colored with legend or we have meta-data like markers?
