You create new maps by exploiting the data contained in your existing electronic maps. Also, you can update your new map by importing additional map data at anytime during map preparation or at run time and without interrupting the system.
JViews Maps integrates the various map data sources using a set of properties that define the way your map will display and react to run time changes.
By default, JViews Maps embeds the following properties into a working map:
The map properties can be extended or changed at any time during map preparation or final application execution. For example, you can implement applications to allow for a change of map projection or data source at run time.
Readers are provided that read map data in its native format, that is, without any need for preprocessing.
Readers can read a wide range of file formats containing the map and map data such as geometry and topology. Table 2.1 shows the supported file formats:
Additionally, you can use the open APIs to import other map formats.
