MAPexchange API

the MAPexchange API offers a web based client to access our street and topographical GIS data. The key component of our API, is that the end user is able to implement the mapping control through a process of following easy steps in our API documentation. In addition to this no software or dll's are required to be installed or registered. The map control will function off standard web technologies. The only requirement is that end-users browsing the map control will need to have javascript enabled (this is enabled by default, and will only be disabled if the user has specifically done so).

With the API, you have access to a full range of mapping tools to suit your needs. These include:

Map navigation (zoom/pan)
Drawing features ( lines / point / polygons)
Adding your own point data (or other data in GML format)
Measure distance
Annotate
Print
Street Search
Routing/Street directions

See the Map Explorer for full functionality.

In most cases, the API can be implemented with a couple of configuration options, and should require no consultation from our consultants. Since the API is entirely based upon Javascript, the map functions with no server callbacks or page refreshes.

While the API includes the most commonly requested functionality, a number of additional functions are available outside the API. These can easily be implemented when required by simply passing a request to our technical team.
