- Draggable routes: Change the course of a route by dragging any point - including start and end point- of a route polygon with the mouse to a new position. Tutorial
- Context menus: Add a customizable context menu to your mapping application. For example, commands for adding or removing waypoints to or from a route could be offered via context menu. Tutorial
- Satellite and hybrid view: Satellite images are now also available for the static map. Tutorial
For a complete list of new features see the release notes (PDF, 1MB).
Large parts of the MapTP AJAX API are automatically generated from the MapTP Web Services interfaces. This allows JavaScript programmers to use the rich set of functionality of the MapTP Web Services. However, working with the Web services API can be complex and for example constructing Web service requests is often repetitive. It makes sense to wrap some of this code by classes and functions that can be used to build simple mapping applications in a short time.
The MapTP AJAX API therefore comes with wrapper classes that can be used instead of directly using the Web services classes. The Web services classes are also called "core" classes.
Note: You can combine the wrapper classes with the core classes. If functionality is not available in wrapper classes the core classes can be used directly.
