Reasons to use MapGuide Open Source?

Lower Cost of Ownership

Support for the Linux operating system and Apache web server gives you a choice of platform, which can reduce your ongoing system costs. Also, the new Resource Database in Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise allows you to create libraries of layers that can be shared by many maps. Change the layer once and all of your maps are instantly updated.
