<div>Thank you very much Traian.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I went through the Getting Started Guide of MG Studio Preview and I think it's a great tutorial. I even managed to load my own SHP file which contained a network of roads and managed to display the names of the roads too. Hats off to developers of MGOS and Studio for developing such a wonderful and user friendly framework. Even a newbie like me could follow the instructions and develop a map.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a few more questions though. Please bear with me for my newbie questions.
<div> </div>
<div>1. Although I worked with an SHP file, I am not exactly sure of it's format and what more I could do with it. For example, when I went through the sample application code, I saw that it has used another geocoding service (
<a href="http://geocoder.us/service/rest/geocode">http://geocoder.us/service/rest/geocode</a>) to get the coordinates of an address. Instead, can I search a street name in the layer and get the coordinates? (since I believe all that information is in that layer).
</div>
<div>Also, can I do the converse. That is, can I read a street name off a layer, given coordinates?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. What's the difference between a tiled map and line map (as the SHP one I have with roads) ?</div>
<div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would really appreciate if you can point me to any place where I could get more information of these technologies.</div><br>-- <br>Kathy Wilson </div>

<div>Hi,<br>In the getting started guide of Mapguide Studio Preview, it is said that there are six services: Site, Resource, Drawing, Feature, Mapping, and Rendering.<br>But when I open MGOS Site Administrator, there are 7 services. There's an additional service called Tile.
</div>
<div>Can some one please explain to me what this Tile service does?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance.<br>-- <br>Kathy Wilson </div></span></div></div>
