NAVTEQ MapTP MapletRemoteControl Service: Remote Controlling Mapping Clients
Mapping clients can be embedded into customer specific applications or Web sites in many ways. The MapTP MapletRemoteControl (MRC) is designed to provide a common interface for "remote controlling" mapping clients and for data integration ("pushing data"). Some example commands are: Change the view of the map, display a geometric shape such as a polygon, display an icon or label on the map to mark a location and many others. For general information on remote controlling mapping clients and data integration see the MapTP Technical Whitepaper: Remote Controlling Mapping Clients. The MapTP MRC Web Service can be accessed via SOAP and HTTP GET.
Map Objects
General information on map objects is provided here. Operations of the NAVTEQ MapTP MRC Service
The Map24 MRC Service provides the following operations for retrieving image data of the current map view:
-
mapletRemoteControl: Remote controls a mapping client. This operation is used for sending MRC commands to the MapTP MRC Service. The service then sends these commands to the mapping client. Some example commands are: Change the view of the map, display a geometric shape such as a polygon, display an icon or label on the map to mark a location and many others.
-
getMapletLayers: Returns the IDs of all map layers that are contained in a MapTP session. For some MRC commands you need to know these IDs, for example in order to define which map layers should be visible with the ControlLayer command. This command is not supported in the HTTP GET interface.
-
getMapletSession: Returns the state of a mapping client that is stored on the server. For example, the server stores the history of MRC commands that were performed during a MapTP session. This command is not supported in the HTTP GET interface.
SOAP Interface
