[mapguide-users] Creating Streets and info

I see the problem now.
You must include ALL the files, not just the SHP file.
After that you must select the shp file to be the "main" item (the star
button in Maestro).
I can send you a package where I have done this if you like.
The problem is that Maestro only displays "*.shp" in the file type, and
you must select "All files" before you can add those other files.
Feel free to add a feature request for the problem:
