The [OpenWebGIS blog] (http://openwebgisystem.blogspot.com) and [full list of articles about OpenWebGIS] (http://openwebgisystem.blogspot.com/2015/08/list-of-articles-about-openwebgis-in.html) provide a lot of information about possibilities for users' data operating.
OpenWebGIS is adapted for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome browsers. In other browsers, OpenWebGIS may not display and work correctly. To start OpenWebGIS local version launch the file Start_OpenWebGIS_en.html.
### You can get source code of OpenWebGIS for Android operating system here: [https://github.com/openwebgisystem/OpenWebGIS_for_Android](https://github.com/openwebgisystem/OpenWebGIS_for_Android)
1.Get the url of your Chrome Installation path to your chrome installation e.g C:\Users-your-user-name\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application>
Launch the Google Chrome browser from the command line window with the additional argument ‘–allow-file-access-from-files’. E.g ‘path to your chrome installation\chrome.exe --allow-file-access-from-files’
Temporary method you can use each time you are testing
Copy the existing chrome launcher
Do as above and save it with a new name e.g chrome - testing
Alternatively, you can simply create a new launcher with the above and use it to start chrome.
On Linux Operating System (specifically UBUNTU)
Slightly Permanent Method
1.Go to the menu entry/ launcher for Chrome (.desktop file)
2.Open the launcher properties dialog.
3.It should look something like this: ‘/usr/bin/google-chrome %U’
4.Change it to ‘/usr/bin/google-chrome --allow-file-access-from-files‘ to make the flags work permanently
5.You may also need to delete and re-pin your launcher(s) after modifying it. Chrome should launch with the specified flags enabled after the modification.
Within Start_OpenWebGIS_*.html their appears to be a number of elements with hardcoded styles, these should be added to the main.css file (noted in #3 and fixed in pull #4)
The CSS within the Start_OpenWebGIS_en.html / Start_OpenWebGIS_ru.html files is the same and maintainability of the project would be increased by splitting the CSS into its own file.
There are a number of accessibility issues with the page(s) including missing alt tags and colour contrast issues.
While, by their nature, maps fail accessibility checks in relation to inaccessible to most screen readers their are steps which can be taken to improve the site.
The site should aim to pass as many of the wave accessibility tests as it can (see http://wave.webaim.org/ )
