The Map Builder is built from the libraries and is delivered in the source code. Although the Map Builder is a tool for defining the background maps of an application, it also serves three other functions important for getting started with the product quickly:
-
Map preparation tool: Using the Map Builder you can prepare a map that mixes different data sources (satellite, intelligence, transportation networks, ...) and specify what you want to see, when you want to see it, and how you want to see it. This means that you always get a meaningful display, for example, you do not need to see streets at worldwide level.
-
SDK exploration: The Map Builder offers an easy way to accelerate your evaluation of the wide variety of features offered by the SDK.
-
Jump starting development: The Map Builder is delivered as source code and built using ILOG JViews Maps SDKs. If you want, you can reuse code fragments in your final application.
With the Map Builder, you have access to multiple coordinates and measuring unit systems; contextual grids in Longitude and Latitude or the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) with minimized memory and CPU footprint.
