[mapguide-users] Maestro - steps to start

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

You should perform the following steps:

1. Create a feature source
2. Create a layer, point to the feature source, and select styles
3. Create a map, and add the layer
4. Create either a WebLayout or a Fusion application, and add the map

To publish it, you simply have to take the URL that is displayed in 
either the WebLayout or Fusion application.
In Maestro, the URL will only appear after you save the WebLayout or 
Fusion application.

If you want to embed the map in your own page or CMS system, the 
developer guide explains this process:

(server is down, so link is untested, go to http://mapguide.osgeo.org/ 
and click documentation)

It can be instructive to install the Sheboygan sample data to see how 
that works:
