Zoom Goto Address (Geocoding) Data With a geocoding database installed on your server, map authors can add the Zoom Goto US Street Address category to their maps. Autodesk MapGuide Author comes with a predefined location category called "US Street Address." When map authors activate this category, they access the geocoding database that you installed on your server (see "Adding Geocoding Data" on page 91). When the category is in place, users can type an address or ZIP code and zoom directly to that location on the map. For more information, see "Creating and Modifying Zoom Goto Location Categories" on page 146. Working with Raster Images Raster images are pixel-based images, such as digital photographs (satellite images, for example). Raster images are very useful as background images underneath your vector data, for example, an aerial photograph of a city with a layer of streets overlaying it. Autodesk MapGuide supports various raster image file formats. The following section contains a complete list of supported file formats. Raster Image File Formats The following table provides a brief description of the raster image file formats supported by Autodesk MapGuide Author and Autodesk MapGuide Server: Format BMP CALS ECW GeoSPOT File Description Extension .bmp Microsoft Windows Bitmap .cal CALS MIL-R-28002A Type 1 Format .ecw Enhanced Compression Wavelet .bil Band Interleaved (GeoSPOT, others) Note that GeoSPOT files need their associated color index files, which have a .clr file extension. The CLR file should be in the same directory as the BIL file. Working with Raster Images | 101
