GeoSearch Tutorials

GeoSearch is a javascript library that gives you tools for building graphical user interfaces with MetaCarta GTS results on maps... in any web page!

GeoSearch is straightforward and easy to use. These tutorials will help you get started:

The first tutorial, GeoSearch.Init, will show you how to create a simple page using GeoSearch. The GeoSearch.Init function can take input parameters parameters to limit search to documents from a particular host, listen to text queries from another form field, and read a search query from the URL.

The GeoSearch.Map tutorial shows the different ways that GeoSearch's map can be customized. You'll learn how to change the initial extent of the map, as well as how to change the backdrop map to your own custom map layer.

To change the look and feel of GeoSearch to match your website, see the GeoSearch.CSS tutorial. This tutorial describes how to specify the size of your results list and map DIVs via CSS, how to adjust font style and size in the components rendered by GeoSearch, and how to modify the appearance of the popups.
