Time for action – using GeoRSS with OpenLayers

We're going to show a number of features represented as points:

1. Open chapter7/index.html in your favorite browser.

2. Click on the OpenLayers GeoRSS example.

3. Open /chapter7/openlayers/georss/index.html and /chapter7/openlayers/georss/map.js.

4. Review the map.js file:

   var map, rss;
   
   function mapinitialize() {
   
       map = new OpenLayers.Map('map', {
           maxResolution:'auto',
           projection: 'EPSG:4326'
       });
       layer = new OpenLayers.Layer.WMS(
           CountyLayer, GEOSERVERBASE + "/geoserver/tiger/wms",
           {
               LAYERS: CountyLayer,
               format: 'image/png'
           }
           );
       map.addLayer(layer);
       map.zoomTo(9);
       map.panTo(new OpenLayers.LonLat(-73.99, 40.75));
       addGeoRSS();
   }
   
   function addGeoRSS() {
       var value = GEOSERVERBASE + '/geoserver/tiger/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=tiger:poi&styles=&bbox=-74.0118315772888,40.70754683896324,-74.00153046439813,40.719885123828675...
