Background

When surfing on the Internet, I occasionally found the MapX module. I was interested in it.
After reading the Help Document, I decided to create the Nanjing Geography Information System. On one hand, it would help to develop my knowledge of the MapX Component; on the other hand, it would make it convenient for me to go outside without worrying about losing the direction.
