===== FDO, OGR and GDAL Extension =====

In a previous webinar we tackled integrating your own custom GIS data with Map Suite, focusing on feature-centric sources such as FeatureSource and FeatureLayer. In this video, we'll explore how you can leverage existing open-source GIS libraries such as FDO, OGR, and GDAL to support even more data formats. You'll be amazed how easy it is to take advantage of these native C++ libraries in your GIS software.
