How to

To render a map with Oracle Mapviewer, the most common technique is to used Oracle Map, the javascript library of Oracle MapViewer.

<script language=javascript>
  function showMap()
  {	
    var baseURL  = "http://"+document.location.host+"/mapviewer";
    var mapCenterLon =  -96.554346;
    var mapCenterLat =  38.987208;
    var mapZoom      =  0;
    var mpoint = MVSdoGeometry.createPoint(mapCenterLon,mapCenterLat,8307);
    var mapview = new MVMapView(document.getElementById("map"), baseURL);
    mapview.addMapTileLayer(new MVMapTileLayer("mvdemo.SH_CUST_DENSITY_MAP")); 
    mapview.setCenter(mpoint); 
    mapview.setZoomLevel(mapZoom);    
    mapview.display();  			
  }

  function addLoadEvent(func) {
  var oldonload = window.onload;
  if (typeof window.onload != 'function') {
    window.onload = func;
  } else {
    window.onload = function() {
      if (oldonload) {
        oldonload();
      }
