Opening a Map

When you open a map in your Web browser, it launches Autodesk MapGuide Viewer to display the map. You can then change the view of the map by zooming, panning, or using bookmarks to see the exact portion of the map you want.

To open a map

1. Choose File > Open Location in Netscape Navigator (in Navigator 4.06, choose File > Open Page), or choose File > Open in Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2. Enter the map's URL, and then click OK (in Navigator 4.06, click Open).
3. If any of the initial layers in the map are password protected, you are prompted for a password. At the prompt, type your user name and password in the provided boxes. If you do not have a password, check with the author of the map.

   The map appears in the Autodesk MapGuide Viewer window.
