So I'm looking for information on parks in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  A page
about the parks refers me to a site containing maps maintained by the
City of Fort Wayne.  However, it seems that the only way to see the maps
is through an ActiveX plug-in running in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Mozilla.
2. Connect to the Internet.
3. Visit http://maps.cityoffortwayne.org/
Actual Results:  
To view maps on this site, you must install the ActiveCGM Browser
ActiveX Control.

System Requirements

  Operating System:   Windows 98 or newer
  Browser:    Internet Explorer ( 6.0 or higher )

Expected Results:  
Either offer a Netscape plug-in or render the maps server-side like Yahoo!
and MapQuest do.
