Hi all,
Is there an obvious choice for web-based visualisation of batman-adv networks? We currently use a custom product (SPUD - http://dev.villagetelco.org/trac/browser/spud/trunk/INSTALL) built specifically for Village Telco but would prefer to join our efforts to a broader community-based effort. I am aware of
Nodewatcher http://nodewatcher.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html and Nodeshot http://wiki.ninux.org/InstallNodeshot
but both of these take a little adapting to batman-adv. Is there anything out there that has been developed specifically for batman-adv?
For our local Freifunk community here in Lübeck we are currently using a home-brewed solution called 'ffmap-d3' developed by Nils Schneider to visualize our batman-adv topology. Source code is available on github:
http://tcatm.github.com/ffmap-d3/
It is still quite new and still gets its regular tweaks, but this page should already give you an idea about how it looks like, its current features and general usability:

Not sure whether this is something you are looking for, but thought I'd mention it anyway.
ffmap-d3 is quite beautifully done, very elegant rendering of nodes although we are looking for something more GIS-oriented. Both are worth exploring though. Thanks.
Cheers... Steve
