 Mapserver
 ---------
 
+The mapserver is a new, experimental feature.  It's based on `Leaflet
+<http://leaflet.cloudmade.com/>`, a library written to create zoomable,
+map-tile interfaces.  (Similar to Google Maps.)  yt provides everything you
+need to start up a web server that will interactively re-pixelize an adaptive
+image.  This means you can explore your datasets in a fully pan-n-zoom
+interface.
+
+To start up the mapserver, you can use the command ``yt`` (see
+:ref:`command-line`) with the ``mapserver`` subcommand.  It takes several of
+the same options and arguments as the ``plot`` subcommand.  For instance:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   yt mapserver DD0050/DD0050
+
+That will take a slice along the x axis at the center of the domain.  The
+field, projection, weight and axis can all be specified on the command line.
+
+When you do this, it will spawn a micro-webserver on your localhost, and output
+the URL to connect to to standard output.  You can connect to it (or create an
+SSH tunnel to connect to it) and explore your data.  Double-clicking zooms, and
+dragging drags.
+
+.. image:: _images/mapserver.png
+   :width: 500
+
+This is also functional on touch-capable devices such as Android Tablets and
+iPads/iPhones.  In future versions, we hope to add halo-overlays and
+markers-of-interest to this.
