I'd like some general advice on creating dynamic maps. I have a bunch of geospatial points saved on SQL Server and PostgreSQL. People will enter new data into the databases from time to time. I want those points to be automatically plotted into a series of base layers I have already created with QGIS. The plotting does not have to be instantaneous, but it would be nice if the map was updated every day. I've got a few leaflet maps that I especially like, but I'm not tied to them. I have a decent bit of SQL, some python, marginal amounts of HTML and PHP experience, and practically no JavaScript. To be perfectly honest, I don't know where to start in figuring out how to this. I have very little as far as budget is concerned, but lots of free time to learn how to program better. I have been doing some research and I'm still pretty confused on where to start. I was wondering if anyone had a good resource on where to get started.
Right now, I am thinking the best thing for me to do would be learning geoalchemy2 on python to create the type of map I want to create. I'm pretty sure geoalchemy2 can do this, but could anyone confirm?

2do you just want one static map that you convert to an image? or do you want to have some sort of zoom/pan map on a website? or is it not web-based and you just want a shape file?user1269942– user12699422014年10月18日 08:08:38 +00:00Commented Oct 18, 2014 at 8:08

I'd prefer to have some sort of zoom-pan. Thansk!Ravi Mehta– Ravi Mehta2014年10月19日 16:33:46 +00:00Commented Oct 19, 2014 at 16:33

If you have already created the layers in QGIS and you want to publish them using the same style, I think you should go with QGIS Web Client.
Related to the new points, everytime the user load the WebGIS application, a new request will be made to the database and so the information will be always updated.
