<h2>
<a NAME="Overview"></a>Overview</h2>
The MapFiles.py file defines the shapefile names for each of the main categories
of shapefiles.&nbsp; It is imported by the <a href="mapConfig.html">Maps.py</a>
file and can be overridden by the <a href="localMapFiles.html">localMapFiles.py</a>
in order to provide easy shapefile upgrades. This document describes the
format of the MapFiles.py file.
<p><b><font color="#FF0000">See the <a href="serverConfiguration.html#ServerDatabaseConfigurationModificationOptions">server
configuration overview</a> for information on how to make changes that
are supported to the map backgrounds.</font></b>

<h2>
<a NAME="Format"></a>MapFiles.py Format</h2>
The format of the MapFiles.py is very simple.&nbsp; It simply contains
a list of the map filenames and assigns them to variables.&nbsp; These
variables are used throughout <a href="mapConfig.html">Maps.py</a> and
<a href="localMapsConfig.html">localMaps.py</a>.&nbsp; Thus as the shapefiles
are updated, the changes in the map background configuration is confined
to just one file.
<br>&nbsp;
