MapText Introduces SDK for iPhone and iPad Mapping Applications
Monmouth Junction, NJ - September 7, 2011 - MapText, Inc. is introducing a versatile Software Development Kit (SDK) to enable developers to create rich and fully customizable mapping applications for iPhone and iPad.
With the SDK any kind of GIS data can be rendered into customized maps, including but not limited to street maps, emergency maps, or the most sophisticated aeronautical or nautical charts.
With the launch of this SDK, MapText is addressing the needs of GIS application developers who want to use their own data and present aesthetic vector maps with fluid zoom/pan capabilities on iOS platforms. MapText’s high performance dynamic labeling functionality is also included.
Some of the selected capabilities of the SDK are:
-
map image rendered on the fly from vector data
-
ability to load map data from any standard GIS source
-
lightning fast dynamic (on the fly) label placement
-
advanced label placement options (leadering, stacking, font reduction, shield placement)
-
map presentation entirely configurable including feature symbolization and text styles
-
offline map usage (no network connectivity required)
Interested developers should contact MapText through our website www.maptext.com.
