1 Pre-Requisites to Using the Application
1.1 Application Access Requirements
This installation requires administrator access to the system on which the system is to be installed
as well as access to the database which will feed the MapRoad application.
1.2 Additional Requirements
� The installation files must be located on the machine MapRoad is being installed on; it will
not run the installation files across a network.
� Have a LA logo with dimensions of approx. 80 x 90 pixels.
� Confirm the presence of a ‘C:\Maproad 2.3\Work\’ directory with NodeMap.tab and
RoadMap.tab and associated files.
1.3 MapInfo Requirements
� If you are running MapInfo 11 on your desktop, ensure it is version 11.0.4 (Build 404)
� If you are running MapInfo 10.5 make sure it is build 10.5.2
� If you are running MapInfo 10.0 make sure it is build 10.0.1
1.4 MapRoad Desktop Requirements and Pre-Requisites
� The date on all the application files for MapRoad 2.3 should be 29-May-2012.
If they are not then you will need to download the patch.
� The latest batch file for ensuring the desktop system is up to date can be downloaded
from:
http://lgmaext.laservices.ie/transportation/Business%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?
RootFolder=%2ftransportation%2fBusiness%20Documents%2fMapRoad%20exes&FolderC
TID=&View=%7b659AA55F%2d145D%2d4A62%2d9F26%2dAFDA1B776F2B%7d

2 Installation
The full installation of MapRoad is made up of 8 modules. Of which, the Road Net module is the
Central Module.
The 8 different MapRoad Modules
It is preferable to install the modules in the order shown in this document. i.e.:
1) 0_MR2_UserAdmin_Install
2) 1_MR2_RoadNetwork_Install
3) 3_MR2_RoadAcc_Install
4) 4_MR2_RoadBridge_Install
5) 5_MR2_RoadHaz_Install
6) 6_MR2_RoadTraffic_Install
7) 7_MR_RoadMgtPlus_Install
8) 2_MR2_RoadMgt_Install
The installation of most Modules is a simple process, guided by an install wizard.
The installation of the Road Net Module, however, as the central module, is more
complicated. This installation has a number of steps:
Step 1: Install the User Admin module
Step 2: Install the Road Network Module
Step 3: Creating a Connection String (undertaken in MapInfo)
Step 4 Configuring the RoadNet Module for First use
MapRoad 2.3 Install Guide Page 6 of 29
2.1 Installing Road Net Module
2.1.1 Step 1

Under ‘New Data Source’ select ‘SQL Server Native Client’, proceed by clicking ‘Next’, click ‘Finish’
on the next screen to end the process.
‘SQL Server Native Client’
If the option to choose an SQL Server Native Client is not available, it is possible to download a zip
file from the following location (http://www.compass.ie/download/SQLNativeClients.zip) which
contains a 64 bit and 32 bit SQL Server Native Client.
Downloaded SQL Server Native Client .zip file
From here one can install the relevant SQL Server Native Client version onto their machine and
then proceed with the connection procedure.

MapRoad 2.3 Install Guide Page 15 of 29
When you click ‘OK’, the ROADMAP table will load, and the MapBasic commands for opening and
registering the ROADMAP table are displayed in the MapBasic window. The part of interest is the
‘CONNECTION’ element.
The ‘Connection’ String
Copy the text shown in red above to a plain text file using Notepad.
To complete the spatial connection string, one must append the following:
MARS_Connection=Yes;
The complete Spatial Connection String is as follows:
‘DSN=w08-
sql08_MapRoad_TestDeployment;UID=maproad;PWD=maproad;Trusted_Connection=Yes;APP=Ma
pInfo Professional®;WSID=4THDIMENSION;DATABASE=MapRoad_TestDeployment;
MARS_Connection=Yes;’
Note the ; character is of particular importance, be sure to include this.
Save the plain text file where this is located.
MapInfo can now be closed without saving.

2.1.4 Step 4 - Configuring RoadNet module for first use:
RoadNet needs to be connected to the relevant database; this has to be configured the first time
it is used.
Open the Road Network module.
It may be necessary to locate the ‘MR2_RoadNet.ini’ file and validate the following key-value pair
is correct:
‘Projection= Earth Projection 8, 42, "m", -8, 53.5, 1.000035, 200000, 250000 Bounds (0, 0)
(1000000, 1000000)’
The image here shows a connection to a database server called ‘w08-sql08’ the login details are
‘maproad’ and the database is ‘MapRoad_Louth’.

3 Removing Database Connections
3.1 Introduction
From time to time the user may wish to remove existing database connections. Perhaps due to a
need to remove incorrect connections or simply to remove connections which are no longer
needed
3.2 Removal Process
To remove a database connection, one must first open the ODBC Database Administrator.
To do this, go to Control Panel and select Administrative Tools:
Administrative Tools
MapRoad 2.3 Install Guide Page 23 of 29
A new window will open, from here select Data Sources (ODBC)
Data Sources (ODBC)

4 Upgrading to MapRoad 2.3.1
4.1 Introduction
MapRoad can be upgraded to v2.3.1 with a release maintenance patch. This patch fixes
performance problems as well as some specific errors, other than that there are no new features
in the application.
4.2 Pre-requisites
In order to proceed with the upgrade, it is necessary that,
• MapRoad 2.3 is installed and correctly running. This includes any of the modules that the
user may utilize normally (ie. RoadNet, RoadAccident, etc.).
• The date of file of C:\Program Files\MapRoad 2.3\RoadNet\mr2_roadnet.exe must be
29/05/2012.
• The user has administrator rights on the PC.
• Find out if the PC is running a 32 or 64 bits version of Windows. This can be determined by
following these steps,
1. In Windows exp[plorer, right-click on Computer,
2. If the opened dialog declares that the System Type is 64 bits, it is a 64bits
version, otherwise it is 32 bits,
MapRoad 2.3 Install Guide Page 25 of 29
4.1 Preparation
Create a folder called MapRoad2.3.1Update in MyDocuments, inside this folder create another
folder called Backup,
MapRoad 2.3 Install Guide Page 26 of 29
Prior to installing the patch, the existing installation of MapRoad should be backed up. The
following folders must be copied to MyDocuments\MapRoad2.3.1Update\Backup,
• C:\Program Files\MapRoad 2.3.
• If there is a folder C:\Program Files (x86)\MapRoad 2.3, this must be copied as well.
• C:\Windows\system32\mr2_userlogin.dll
• C:\Maproad2.3\Work. This is the standard work directory, however sometimes uses a
different directory, in these cases the appropriate directory must be backed up.
4.2 Installation
1. Extract the contents of MapRoad2.3.1Update.zip in a
MyDocuments\MapRoad2.3.1Update\,
MapRoad 2.3 Install Guide Page 28 of 29
2. Open a command line window as administrator.
3. In the command line, change the current path to the folder where the patch was
unzipped, use the following command (replacing UserName with the appropriate user
name),
CD C:\Users\UserName\Documents\MapRoad2.3.1Update\Patch
MapRoad 2.3 Install Guide Page 29 of 29
4. Now, type in patch32bits it the version of Windows is 32bits or patch64bits for 64bits –
see Pre-requisites sections to know how to determine the bits version,
5. MapRoad is now update to v2.3.1 and is ready for use. The first time MapRoad (that
includes any of its modules) is executed, it must be run as administrator (ie.. in Windows
menu, right click on RoadNet and choose “Run as administrator”).
