Minimum longitude
Maximum latitude
Maximum longitude
Following are some important notes about the data in these fields:


When you specify the location for a point, the minimum longitude and
latitude are the same as the maximum longitude and latitude. Therefore,
when the user selects this zoom location, the Width that the user specifies
(if any) is used. If the minimum longitude and latitude are different from
the maximum longitude and latitude, the Width that the user specifies is
ignored.


The Location name field must not contain any special characters, such as
"\n" for forcing a new line. This can cause conflict if you have only one
name field that you want to use for both location names and feature
names, and you want to include newline characters to create multi-line
MapTips from the feature names. In this case, you should add a second
field for use as feature names in MapTips that contains the same name
information and includes newline characters, while excluding newline
characters in the first field that will be used for location names.

The US Street Address Location Category

Autodesk MapGuide Author comes with a predefined location category
called "US Street Address." When you activate this category, you access a
geocoding database that contains U.S. street addresses and their coordinates,
so that your users can type an address or ZIP code and zoom directly to that
location on the map.
