MapTP Component Interface
Introduction
The MapTP Component Interface (MapTP CI) offers a component-oriented approach to building mapping applications with MapTP. It offers a lightweight programming interface that allows the seamless integration of mapping functionality into applications. The interfaces of these components use basic C++ data types and use a simple object model.
Applications that use MapTP CI can also receive maplet remote control (MRC) commands from MapTP Web Services. With MRC, client applications are fully controllable from remote applications. For example, remote applications can push new locations onto client.
The MapTP CI provides methods that handle connections, maps, custom maps, and single custom objects. The interface hides details of the MapTP API. Thus, the programmer does not need to have an understanding of the underlying MapTP object model, protocols, and other aspects of MapTP.
MapTP CI exists for four target platforms:
- .NET interface for Microsoft Windows and Windows CE
- COM interface for Microsoft Windows
- DLL interface (C/C++) for Microsoft Windows and Windows CE
- DLL interface (C/C++) for Symbian S60
The .NET interface and the DLL interface for Microsoft Windows support Windows CE 4.2 or higher (for example Pocket PC 2003, Smartphone 2003, Windows Mobile 5.0, etc).
The programmer's guides show you how to get started using the MapTP Component Interface and describe a demo application that can be downloaded together with the component binaries.
The reference guides provide a complete API documentation.
