How to create firewall isolated pages using Simile's timeline and map?

Question

I've experimented with Simile's exhibit and see the usefulness of the graphical display via a prototype implementation on machines which have access to the internet. We have need to migrate the prototype from the open internet to a closed intranet, where only internal servers are available.

The timeline seems feasible, but maps dependency on Google seems a deal breaker.

Answer 1

The Google Maps API Terms require that your map is free and available to the public. If you want to put it on a private intranet, you'll have to purchase the Premier version

Answer 2

It's possible to use OpenLayers maps in a simile exhibit project. See the docs at:
