[Geomoose-users] GeoMoose for total neophytes

[Anderson, Dean]

When testing/starting with 2.6 I found it best to add a layer or two of my
own to the demo.  Then add an extent for your data set in the zoomto
section of the mapbook.xml file.  That way you can bring up the demo and
zoom to your area to see how your stuff looks.   Many of the background
layers are world-wide so you can also see other layers (yahoo, google,
etc.) as well.  That way your not taking too much on right away.

Good luck
