Custom boundaries
With tMaps you can easily let your users add and remove boundaries to your map using KML files.

Choosing a mapping API can be hard work; which has the best road detail? which has the more complete aerial photography? Even when you've made a choice, your development team has to learn how to use the software, code it themselves and extend where necessary.

With tMaps, you won't suffer these constraints. Our middleware will allow you store map data in one easily configurable XML format, and display complex plots through the most popular mapping services - all without having to write script yourself.


Command though XML

The XML structure that feeds tMaps allows full customization of every facet of your plot. From the HTML template surrounding a map, to individual point icons and overlays - it's covered, no matter how simple or complex.

 

The infoBox; useful for regular users and screen readers alike

The Infobox is an area containing the names of every point on your tMap, and links to centre the viewport on each one. For screen readers, who sometimes have trouble reading map APIs, it provides a textual read-out of the points**. tMaps is bundled with a customizable XSL stylesheet that provides a completely text-only version of the Infobox for maximum compatibility.

Find your nearest

tMaps contains built in functionality allowing users to enter a postcode, and find out which items on the plot are nearest to that point using your geocoding service*. Upon finding the point, tMaps' Infobox will re-order by distance, the closest markers will be marked or change colour - all of which is customizable through the XML.

Heat zones & collision detection

Our middleware includes built-in support for creating heat zones, boundaries or routes using a standard KML format. Zones can be displayed on the map at start-up, or added and removed via simple JavaScript calls. Through additional XML commands, plot designers can also change detection parameters to trigger map changes or custom actions when clicking within or outside a closed zone.

 

The power to extend

tMaps can be extended through JavaScript calls, and provides a multitude of time-saving functions for power users.

Domino users get a head start

While tMaps is compatible with any system capable of serving HTML and JavaScript files, IBM Lotus Domino users can take advantage of a tuned database package with extra included tools.
