Thank for your 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>smith<br><br><br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 8/11/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Lars-Hendrik Schneider</b> <<a href="mailto:schneider@terrestris.de">schneider@terrestris.de

<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
