What is JMap?

JMap is an open solution for publishing interactive spatial applications over enterprise, public, and mobile networks.

JMap and the JMap Extensions put spatial analytical tools directly into the hands of decision makers, providing a degree of interactive mapping to the World at large that was previously reserved to small populations of GIS specialists.
