The Xypoint Mapping Server has been widely used and enhanced for more than a decade. Customers use it for sophisticated applications including roadside service, directory assistance, vehicle tracking, and telematics. Supporting Web, mobile and connected navigation applications, release 5.3 provides a technology platform for applications to request and receive location, routing and point-of-interest information, as well as to generate tiled maps.
Key features of this new release include:
-- Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) support. This feature enables
continuous panning of maps for interactive web applications. Companies can
create location-based services for their customers using standards-based
maps that are combined with rich content. Rather than viewing a static map,
users can continuously scroll to view a desired area on the map.
-- Commercial Vehicle and Turn Restrictions. These two features enable
companies deploying commercial location-based services to optimize routes
or develop alternate driving directions based on commercial vehicle
profiles and road restrictions, saving time and decreasing costs through
improved routing.
-- Traffic-based Routing. Developers can integrate real-time traffic
information into their location-based applications to evaluate the effect
of traffic conditions on a particular route or to generate unique alternate
routes based on real-time traffic conditions.
-- Fuzzy Search. This enhanced search capability enables the application
of fuzzy logic to provide a rich location-based search capability. This
enables applications to search by partial business names or misspelled
names, and to provide ranked search results based on proximity or along a
route.
"TCS' Xypoint Mapping Server has a long history of providing mission critical, location-based solutions to telecommunication companies and their partners," stated Timothy Lorello, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer. "With this release, we are providing mapping and navigation support features with powerful user interfaces, and the flexible content integration features allow developers to customize and enhance the value of the applications to the end user."
