[mapserver-users] Tracking vehicles, Displaying positions

[Carmelo Saffioti]

Thank you Pietro.
Before converting from DWG to DXF, I have to say that my DWG planimetry is
not georeferenced. How can I georeference it?
After georeferencing it, how can I "import" the file on the map server? It
will be the map, isn't it?


Thank you again
Cheers
Carmelo
