| | 36 | |
| | 37 | == Getting some data == |
| | 38 | If you are just starting out with !MapGuide, you will benefit from having som example data to look |
| | 39 | at and modify. You can download the [http://mapguide.osgeo.org/download/releases/2.0.x-samples "Sheboygan.mgp" sample from the MapGuide site]. |

| | 41 | |
| | 42 | To load a package from !MapGuide Maestro, choose the menu "Packages" and the select "Restore package...". |
| | 43 | Now browse to the package you downloaded, then click "OK" and wait for the process to complete. |
