Hi there,

I've found many of the posting regarding connecting PostGIS and MGOS
extremely useful.  I have managed to create a datasource, point it to the
PostGIS database, and no errors are reported when testing the connection.
GREAT!

However...  Now, I am trying to create a map that will allow me to display
my postGIS data.  I have created a new layer in MGOS Web Studio and pointed
the layer to my postGIS datasource (as suggested in step 5-6).

At this point, "Step 7 Select the table to use", I am not able to select any
tables.  I am attempting to select a feature source from the drop down list,
but it is empty.  Should my PostGIS tables show up at this point?

Any feedback regarding displaying PostGIS data after establishing a
connection would be greatly appreciated!
