Where shortcuts as WMS, WFS or WCS are well known in our geoinformation vocabulary, WPS is still rather new. OGC Web Processing Service (WPS) is approaching from version 0.4.0 to version 1.0.0. A WPS can be configured to offer any sort of GIS functionality to clients across a network, including access to pre-programmed calculations and/or computation models that operate on spatially referenced data. A WPS may offer calculations as simple as subtracting one set of spatially referenced numbers from another (e.g., determining the difference in influenza cases between two different seasons), or as complicated as a global climate change model. This processes can be calculated on remote servers and so, the local stations can be common desktop computers. With new versions of web 2.0 based map applications (e.g. Google Maps, etc.) end user is able to browse high interactive maps in web pages. Although it is possible to build custom map application with help of proprietary API, such as Google Maps API, Seznam.cz API or similar, it can often lead to legal issues. Adding custom data can be also not so straight forward. Furthermore support for OGC services is not extensive in such kind of applications. In this article OpenSource tools, which are enabling building custom maps “widgets” at any web site, are introduces. The map can have look & feel, such e.g. Google Maps has, but without license issues.
