Legacy App

The Legacy Ammendment Map application is a completely open-source full-stack, responsive (RWD) application, built with PostGIS, Leaflet, and a little TLC.

See it in the wild at http://www.legacy.leg.mn/

What's included?

  • Code
  • Data (GeoJSON)
    • Various MN overlay layers
    • mapserver.map WMS configuration file

What does it do?

  • Fun geodev tools
    • Leaflet marker-cluster graduated symbols that are out of this world
    • Geocodes addresses (Google JavaScript API authentication token required)
    • Zoom to location on cellphones (application optimized using RWD)
  • Consumes MapServer WMS
    • Free and open source map service publishing
    • Much faster rendering than vectors
  • Basic UI/UX
    • Point and click on the map, or use the search bar to retrieve land acquisition data
    • Graduated symbology
    • Add overlay layers to geo-exploring

The code relies on a connection to an instance of PostGreSQL/PostGIS, a free and open-source spatial database. But for testing, connections can be made to the GeoJSON included in the data folder (see Who Represents Me? for all data).
