>>     </map-source>

>> In the above examples replace 'YOUR API KEY' with the actual key code.

>> Third, add these to the <catalog> section in the mapbook.xml file:

>> <layer title="DigitalGlobe Inc. Recent Imagery" src="DG_Sat/Maps API
>> Recent Imagery    DigitalGlobe, Inc." show-legend="false" legend="false"

>>
>> <layer title="DigitalGlobe Inc. Recent Imagery with Streets"
>> src="DG_Hybrid/Maps API Recent Imagery with Streets    DigitalGlobe, Inc."
>> show-legend="false" legend="false" fade="false" unfade="false"/>
>>
>> In these examples, I'm showing both the recent imagery and recent imagery

>> You can also add a terrain map and streetmap vectors too.
