[Mapbender-users] where to get the map

[smithveg]

nice, thanks, i have a deep understand, is it i need to find the WMS and get
the map url, and then load capabilities?

If i can get the map to load in, like different country's map.
Can i edit/add the point (road name, building name) into it?
I can't really see any add/edit button in gui

As for user, how they access the map?
