The Map Toolkit API offers maps, traffic, routing, and geocoding.

Map Tiles

• Our map tiles comprise attractive raster street map images pre-rendered at 18 zoom levels ranging from one global tile down to detailed map image tiles that are 305m X 305m in size. Each image is corresponds with a position on an established zoom level grid system used by the WMS-C standard. Routing and Traffic tiles can be layered to create a compound display.

• Include detailed information such as: Type of delay Length of the delay, Significance, Distance
• Traffic information is updated every 2 minutes

Routing

• Point to point routing using automotive-grade routing algorithms
• Route calculation to provide the best route while avoiding traffic, or to plan upcoming journey for a certain time of day

Geocoding

The Geocoding API is for customers interested in only geocoding. Functionality includes both forward single call and batch geocoding.

• Free text search and reverse Geocoding API. Free text search use our geocoding API to find an address, place or point of interest
• Use our Reverse Geocoding API to track locations from a pair of coordinates

How Developers use our LBS Platform?

Map tiles and traffic enabled routing provide automotive-grade navigation quality routes. Use LBS to create a companion web app for your mobile navigation solution.	By combining our geocoding service and 3rd party / proprietary demographic and GIS datasets, you have the business solutions you need.
Companies looking for a simple fleet tracking application can combine our reverse geocoding and map tile with  on-board GPS.	Combining map tiles with traffic incidents and delays you can visually present live traffic as part of your web or mobile application.
