1.2 Getting Started with the Map Visualization Component

You can get started with the map visualization component 23.2, by performing the following tasks.

1. Either before or after you install and deploy the map visualization component, read Map Visualization Concepts to be sure you understand important terms and concepts.
2. Ensure that you have the prerequisite software (see Prerequisite Software for the Map Visualization Component).
3. Install (if necessary) the map visualization component from the Downloads page. Deployment of the mapviewer_23_2.ear file enables you to get started with the map visualization component.
4. Use the map visualization component for some basic tasks. For example, create an Oracle Maps application (see Oracle Maps).
5. Optionally, use the Map Builder tool (described in Oracle Map Builder Tool) to familiarize yourself with styles, themes, and maps, and the options for each, and optionally to preview spatial data.
