PTV xMAP SERVER
DIGITAL MAPS API for SAP Applications
Display geographical data and traffic information on interactive and customizable maps
What are digital maps good for?
​
Digital rendering – often referred to as digital mapping – is the process of visualizing geographic data on digital maps. While early digital maps contained the same cartographic information as scanned versions of paper maps, the expansion of GPS has added many functionalities to digital maps, like the possibility to include points of interest and other location-based datasets. Digital rendering is a prerequisite for all geographical and logistical functions and crucial for tasks such as vehicle routing and optimization. Display geographic data and traffic information on customized digital maps to enable vehicle routing and optimization with the PTV xServer Digital Maps API.
Configure your map display or use pre-defined map profiles
PTV Digital Maps API enables you to configure the map display based on your requirements and taste. Would you like to start working with the API immediately without making any modifications? No problem. PTV offers several pre-defined map profiles that are carefully designed to fit most standard use cases as an out-of-the-box-feature.
Build hybrid maps with single map layers
Request single layers to build your own hybrid map. Choose between pre-defined layers (e.g. background, labels, additional content layers displaying information like truck-specific attributes or live traffic information). Change the order of layers to draw the polyline of a route between streets and labels.
Display additional content data
PTV provides a lot of additional premium content and data such as statistical and time-dependent absolute speeds, truck-specific driving restrictions and real-time or forecasted traffic events. The Digital Maps API enables you to visualize this premium content to make optimum use of our logistical algorithms..
Localize your digital map with country-specific map configuration
PTV offers standard map profiles for different countries and continents. In these standard map profiles, the visible icons and descriptions are localized accordingly.
Visualize time-dependent data
Choose between different options for displaying time-dependent data: Either pick a point in time or a time span and visualize all valid data that matches your time preference.
Postcode search API that handles all available formats
Regardless of length and formatting: Our postcode search API reliably locates postcodes globally.
