asked on

A script combining a map and GPS coordinates.

…On a website for a small town in the south of Portugal [in an area yet unmapped],

I have a number of holiday rental villa records in a database [PHP/MySQL]. In many cases these villas do not even have addresses but are only known by their land register number. I have now started to collect the exact locations of these villas by GPS

I will make a map of the area myself by collecting waypoints, tracks and routes via my GPS receiver and software like www.gartip.de 

What I would like is this;

An interactive map which, with a click on a link from the villa page, would show the position (red dot or cross) of only that individual villa in the area [calculated by UTM or lat/long coordinates.

How do I go by it?

Server is Apache.

Thanks in advance,

Steen

I second the other Matt's recommendation of MapServer. There are numerous other less (and more) heavy weight solutions available at http://freegis.org/browse.en.html?category=app&app=web_mapping
