Clients which require the implementaiton an
Internet mapping application, but do not wish to install and maintain their own server can
use Citygate's Hosted Web services. GIS in conjunction with Mapsolute Inc. provide complete hosted Internet Mapping
Web Services offered through a 24-7 monitored, secure server site with over 300
MapTP servers. Web services can provide access to a combination of user created and
NavTeq or Teleatlas map data.
Programming support for SOAP, XML, AJAX,
C++, ActiveX and .Net exists and is directly compatible to the end user hosted version of
the MapTP server. This capability allows easy transfer of web services
applications to internally hosted servers without the need for reprogramming.
The following is some of the
functionality available through Web Services.
- Geocoding Service.
The Geocoding Service,
generates Latitude/Longitude locations on the map by matching addresses to a street
database. Spelling and/or other address coding errors are automatically corrected by
the Geocoding engine.
- Reverse Geocoding Services.
The Reverse Geocoding Service, generates an address from a
map coordinate.
- Proximity Service.
The Proximity Service allows
the spatial search of objects in a specified corridor or buffer.
- Routing Service.
The routing service calculates
optimized routes between locations. The service provides a polyline of the optimized
route and can generate turn by turn directions in any of 15 languages. The routing
results can also be altered by the user to include weight/height restrictions and the more
or less use of specific road classes.
- Matrix Routing Service. The
Matrix Routing Service enables the calculation of optimized routes between multiple
points. Matrix routing is used when calculating a route with multiple stops, such as
a delivery route.
- Isoline Routing Service. Isolines
define areas around a starting point which can be reached within a particular time.
Isolines are typically used when creating a service area. i.e. Area around a Fire
Station which can be reached within a 10 minute drive time.
- MGI Printing Service.
The MGI (Map Graphic Interface) Service provides the ability
for users to generate printed maps from Vector data used by the MapTP server.
