+== Utilizing !RuntimeMap via Maestro API ==
+This page describes how to use the MaestroAPI from the [wiki:maestro MapGuide Maestro] project in your own application.
+
+An example of how to add a layer to the map BEFORE it is loaded, using Meastro API. To get Maestro API, please download latest Maestro package, then reference OSGeo.!MapGuide.MaestroAPI.dll and !MapGuideDotNetApi.dll only. 
+
+If you choose the local version below, Maestro API communicates with MapGuide through a !LocalNativeConnection object which talks to MG through a native connection. So all the !MapGuide unmanaged DLL's must be present in the applications Bin folder.
+
+If you choose the remote version, Maestro API communicates with MapGuide through HTTP and no MapGuide binaries are required.
+
+Read about [wiki:maestro/MaestroAPI/basics the difference between LocalNativeConnection and HttpServerConnection here]
