Brian, Did you look at section 1 one the tutorial? In order for you to generate just a map image, you need to make a MapServer CGI request using "map" as the value of the "mode" parameter.
For what you want to do though, look at the Minnesota DNR's LandView (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/landview.html) or Recreation Compass (http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/maps/compass.html). -Perry On Friday 16 December 2005 15:49, you wrote: > I have an application that needs to display a map image.
