[mapguide-users] Tracking vehicles, Displaying positions

[Kenneth Skovhede, GEOGRAF A/S]

I have not tried to use DWG or DXF in MapGuide.
There exists a patch that will enable the OGR provider to use DXF data, 
but you will have to build a new OGR provider yourself, as it is not 
included in the official build (something about licenses...):
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/spike/dxfdwg
