What's New in Autodesk MapGuide Server 5?

Easy Installation
The new Autodesk MapGuide Server installation program eliminates the
manual configuration of your server. Just follow the on-screen instructions
to set up your server.
Support for OLE DB Providers
Autodesk MapGuide Server now serves point and text spatial data from any
OLE DB provider rather than from ODBC data sources. Please note that the
ODBC tab in the Autodesk MapGuide Server Admin Properties dialog box has
been replaced with the Data Sources tab.
Support for Data Extensions
Autodesk MapGuide Server now supports new Data Extensions, which
enable Autodesk MapGuide to serve spatial and attribute data directly from
a variety of traditional GIS, CAD, or relational spatial databases through the
new SDP (spatial data provider) architecture. If you purchase a Data Exten-
sion for your specific data type, such as Oracle8i Spatial or VISION*, you do
not need to convert data to SDF format before using it with Autodesk
MapGuide. For information about these and additional forthcoming data
extensions, contact your nearest authorized Autodesk reseller.
Support for Autodesk OnSite
Autodesk MapGuide Server now supports the Autodesk Onsite software,
enabling users of mobile devices to view interactive maps and other data on
handheld computers. For more information, see the Autodesk Onsite docu-
mentation.
Support for Autodesk MapGuide LiteView Extension
Autodesk MapGuide Server now supports Autodesk MapGuide LiteView
Extension by serving maps in a raster format so that users are not required to
install an Autodesk MapGuide Viewer. For more information, see the
Autodesk MapGuide LiteView documentation.
