Hi Alan

You can see something like that on the black squirrel website.
This uses the Reporting>Distribution Map 3 prebuilt form.
For something more up to date see the Quick Species Map documentation which I found by Googling "readthedocs indicia geoserver"

In general, GeoServer can provide any number of layers, extracting any data from the database we want, and you can overlay as many layers as you like. I haven't entirely mastered it myself yet.

Hi Alan

I've been working on some Indicia stuff with openlayers that lets features be styled dependant on the underlying attributes in the Indicia warehouse.

The NE Scotland Mammal Atlas page

http://surveys.ereca.org.uk/nesbrec/mammalatlas.aspx

is based on Indicia, where each square is a location stored in Indicia and openlayers is used to display the features. Obviously the records are in Indicia as well so I can produce summaries of the squares (the green ones).

The downside (not sure that it is...?) is that the browser really needs SVG graphics, which rules out IE8 and previous versions. Most modern browsers work fine though
