It supports rendering of millions of points, both raster, vector and elevation data, rectangular and orthographic projections, unlimited layering, full alpha-blending, transparency and dynamic attribute thresholding. The map server is optimized for displaying maps of both the whole globe and small regions, supports hierarchical tiling, tile cache and automatic layers selection based on zoom thresholds. It also provides support for elevation data and queries of elevation at particular lat/lon location. Click here for more information.
