Controlling Mapping Clients with MapTP Web Services

Mapping clients can be controlled via MapTP MapletRemoteControl (MRC) Service. This is useful for example if you want to push locations to your mapping client (MRC command DeclareMap24Location). You can also use the SetMapView MRC command to change the mapping client’s current view and for example center on the new locations.

After you went through the getting started guide, you can learn how to control mapping clients with the MapTP Web Services.
