[Mapbender-users] where to get the map

[smithveg]

Thank for your information. I had getting me to built up some understanding
about GIS and WMS.

While in the admin panel, i see a list of mapbender gui.

i undertsnad the gui with 'admin' prefix is admin control.
then gui, gui1, gui2 is map of germany. I don't understand those prefix with
'WMS_...'.
Most of the gui wthose start with WMS give me the error as below:
-------------
This GUI is an OGC service catalog container and does not provide a map user
interface. Please use the (back <javascript:history.back()>) link to select
another GUI form your list or log off to log on using another account
(identity).
------------

Secondly, let's say click in 'gui' or 'gui1', or 'gui2'. it shown me the
map, But i wonder to know how can i add a dot, add a location name, ( i
means add something inside the map).

Thanks for reply.
Thank you.
