MapperWrapper Installation Instructions

1) Extract or unzip MapperWrapper.zip to a new directory (e.g. MapperWrapper). 
2) The MapGuide Map File (*.mwf) must be named "BaseMap.mwf" and be present in 
   the new directory.
3) Launch the MapperWrapper by opening the MapperWrapper.htm file with your 
   browser. For example, right-click the file and Open With Internet Explorer. 
4) You must be connected to the Internet to retrieve data layers from the server.
5) When you save your work it can have any name and be placed in any directory.
6) To reuse an earlier map you must rename it to BaseMap.mwf and place it in a 
   directory where all the MapperWrapper files are present.

HINTS:

1) When saving your work map file use a name that is descriptive of the map's 
contents. This map file may then be viewed with your browser. The file can be 
emailed to a collegue for viewing with their browser as long as they have a 
MapGuide Viewer installed. If you want to add additional material to the map 
it must be renamed to "BaseMap.mwf" and placed in a directory with the 
MapperWrapper programs.

2) To keep track of the colour and style of features you create it is good 
practice to construct a Legend layer. Simply make a new layer called Legend or 
something similar, give it a priority of 100 so it will always be the top layer. 
The first feature you add should be a very large white filled polygon to act as 
background. Then as you create new map features add each one with a descriptive 
label to this layer for later reference.

3) All map objects you create with the Mapper Tools can be used in the same manner 
as anyother map objects on the base layers. You can generate buffers around them 
or use them for searches.

4) Go to www.MapPlace.ca for more information on the MapperWrapper and UnPlugger.
