information. I had getting me to built up some understanding about GIS and WMS.<br>
<br>
While in the admin panel, i see a list of mapbender gui.<br>
<br>
i undertsnad the gui with 'admin' prefix is admin control. <br>
then gui, gui1, gui2 is map of germany. I don't understand those prefix with
'WMS_...'. <br>
Most of the gui wthose start with WMS give me the error as below:<br>
-------------<br>
This GUI is an OGC service catalog container and does not provide a map user
interface. Please use the ( <a href="javascript:history.back()">back</a>) link
to select another GUI form your list or log off to log on using another account
(identity).<br>
------------<br>
<br>
Secondly, let's say click in 'gui' or 'gui1', or 'gui2'. it shown me the map,
But i wonder to know how can i add a dot, add a location name, ( i means add
something inside the map). <br>
<br>
Thanks for reply.<br>
Thank you.<br>

<br>
Mapbender is only a client software that enabels you to get maps<br>
(images) from specialized mapserver services. In the backend Mapbender <br>
only (simply spoken) creates special URL requests to a program that<br>
delivers and creates the map then. Mapbender does not create the maps<br>
itself.<br>
<br>
For the maps you need the data (shapes, aeral photos, TIFs ...) and a <br>
program that takes a picture from your data and delivers it to a client<br>
(Mapbender). Therefore you need <a href="http://s.th">s.th</a>. like UMN
Mapserver or ArcIMS.<br>
<br>
So you currently just have the "remote control" for such kind of <br>
servers. Luckily many such servers are available in the internet and can<br>
be accessed by delivering their data in a standard format -> WMS (Web<br>
Map Service).<br>
<br>
There you can a file that tells Mapbender which parameters the service <br>
expects - so that you can get maps from such a service using Mapbender<br>
as a remote control.<br>
<br>
Hth a bit for the background...<br>
