MapFig

When I checked this product for the first time, I was happily surprised to find out it's open source! @robertwilliger I see you have a pretty extensive table that shows the differences with other mapping solutions (google maps, mapbox, etc.). Can you please highlight the most important differences for us?

@gregoiregilbert I think there are several key distinctions. Foremost (for me), is that it is self-contained. You own the application. Building on this, the application resource requirements are minimal (on par with WordPress). Installation is simple and, once deployed, it is ready for use by users of any skill level. These elements, combined, enables people to take the maximum amount of control over their maps and mapping. A key distinction in terms of functionality is that the platform was designed to put maps on websites. It allows users to deploy via iframe, url, html, or integrated plugins for WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and Omeka.
