NAVTEQ MapTP Web Services
Web services make it possible to build distributed systems with components that are spread across the Internet while using standard protocols such as HTTP and SOAP. MapTP Web Services provide access to spatial algorithms and for data integration and also provide an interface for remote control commands called MapTP MRC (Maplet Remote Control) Web Services.
The advantages and characteristics of a system that is based on Web services in general of course all apply to the MapTP Web Services:
- Interoperability between processes within a network
- Programming language and platform independence
- Utilization of services via a uniform interface
- Loose coupling between services and service clients: neither build time nor runtime dependencies
- Self description of services
MapTP Web Services are accessible via XML/SOAP and HTTP GET.
