MapTP Topics
NAVTEQ Contacts
- NAVTEQ Developers Web Log - http://nn4d.blogspot.com
- As of March 2009, Google Earth/Map no longer uses the NAVTEQ data but
exclusively uses TeleAtlas data. According to Adam Grabowski, the TeleAtlas
data isn't as accurate as the NAVTEQ data.

- MapTP uses the word logo to represent a point symbol (GIS) and
placemarker (Google Earth). It does not mean a branding image
for your company.
- Stephanie.bhesania@navteq.com is part of the German MapTP team.
- MapTP Web Services
- NAVTEQ purchased Mapsolute, a company based in Germany
- MapTP Web Map Server 1.0 is Mapsolute's implementation of the WMS standard.
- Uses WGS84 coordinate system (EPSG:4326) or GCS_WGS_1984 in ESRI ArcMap.
MapTP AJAX API
MapTP AJAX API Examples
Setting Initial Zoom Extent of MapTP
- To set the center of the map for MapTP, that is the initial zoom extents
- Note, the JavaScript function goMap24() is called by the Body element
fires its onLoad event. The goMap24() function then calls the
map24ApiLoaded function. This is where we need to add our JavaScript.
In other words, the best place for this call is in the callback function
map24ApiLoaded() after the loading of the API (goMap24()) is completed
- // UNLV Campus
Map24.MapApplication.center( {Longitude:-6908.5, Latitude:2166.6, MinimumWidth: 4500} );
- MapTP AJAX API Example -
divLogoHeaderLeftNavFullPageMapTPcenterUNLV.html
MapTP and Adding a Company Logo as a Screen Overlay
- The AJAX API 2.3 shows the NAVTEQ logo on the bottom right corner of the Java
Applet. It behaves like a screen overlay, that is it is fixed in a given location
no matter what the scale of the map is. According to Stephanie it is not possible
to use CSS with a z-index to overlay a logo on top of the MapTP Java Applet.
So, one must use static MapTP or the MapTP developers have to give us the ability
to replace the NAVTEQ logo with a company logo (this is not likely to happen).
- Steven Si is checking into how to do this. Sent email to Steven and Stephanie
on 1 Sept 2009 to find the status.
- Note, the Java Applet will over-write the CSS layout
- Example using MapTP AJAX API -
MapTP and loading KML
- MapTP AJAX API 2.3 contains support for KML. This is part of the
GeoFormatsService which makes use of a correspondent Webservice which
transfers the KML syntax into MRC commands.
- Map24.GeoFormatsService Demo
- Web Service interface description (WSDL) for the MapTP
GeoFormats Service that is used for reading KML content and
displaying it on MapTP -
http://maptp26.map24.com/map24/webservices1.5?wsdl=GeoformatsService
- Checking with Stephanie to determine (22 June 2009) if MapTP supports GeoXML and KML
- 4 Sept 2009 - Stephanie is working on creating a simple
example with JavaScript to read KML files and display the
content on MapTP
MapTP and Setting Map Types - Tiles
- "The tiles component is a map component for enabling the satelitte view of the map.
If the satellite view is enabled, instead of a map an aerial or satellite image
of the geographic area is shown. The tiles component also offers a hybrid view
that shows the streets and cities of the normal map view on top of the aerial
or satellite image. Note: If you want to use the tiles component in your
mapping application you need a license for using the Map24 Tiles Service."
MapTP - The Tiles Component
- "If you have a license for using the Map24 Tiles Service, you can enable
the satellite view with a ControlComponent command. The Control field must
be set to SHOW and the Component field must be set to TILES.
- Additional Map Types/Modes - Map, Hybrid and Satellite (either aerial photo or satellite image)
- Requires

MapTP Layers
- MapTP AJAX API 2.3 -
Control Map Layer
- Example of Map Layer
- It appears these layers (Car Service, Parking, Smaller Roads, Transportations,
and Restaurants) are not available for Las Vegas NV
MapTP and Searching for a Point of Interest (POI)
- How do you search for a point of interest (POI)?
- Stephanie is checking with the developers on a built-in
search bar (3 Sept 2009)
MapTP and Geocoding
MapTP and Routing
- Routing - Auto vs. Pedistrian
- MapTP AJAX API 2.3 -
Routing Basics
- Example - calculate route between two points
- How do you add a placemarker showing the address you geocoded?
- Draggable Routing
- Examples
- Wishlist
- Emailed Stephanie on 1 Sept 2009, requested example using the Map24.Coordinate
by selecting two points on the map and have MapTP return the route between them.
- Fleet Management
- Use MapTP to track the GPS enabled phone. This is a much better system than @Road where
a GPS device had to be installed in the vehicle.
- Would like to push work orders to the phone
- Would like the phone to be able to send pictures showing the results of the
work order
- Mobile Phone
- don't recommend the MapTP Mobile Client API, since this is highly complex
and developing with this API requires a lot of support from MapTP
- Almost all customers use the
MapTP Component Interface (CI)
MapTP and Apache
- References
- Getting a Map on a Web Page in Five Minutes: Easy Steps to
Using MapTP AJAX API by Steven.Si@navteq.com gives instructions on installing Apache
Web Server. Alternative download of
Getting a Map on a Web Page in Five Minutes
- NAVTEQ Webinar: Setting up a Test Environment for Applications Using
MapTP AJAX API without a webpage or website by Steven.Si@navteq.com
- "When a student registers for the FREE MapTP AJAX API Key, the registration
page will ask for the IP address that the HTML page will reside at. If the
student has a website or web page, he/she can type in the IP address or the
site address. For students who don’t have a web page or website, they can simply
type in a arbitrary web address. Besides the IP address or web address, the
localhost (127.0.0.1) is also setup with the FREE Key by default during the
registration. The localhost is a convenient way for testing, especially for
students who don’t have a web page or web address. Students who have webpage
can use the localhost as an alternative, rather than upload the HTML file to
the web server during debug. For using the localhost, a Web Server needs
to be installed on desktop or laptop. That’s why we use the Apache as an example"

MapTP WMS
- requests to MapTP WMS 1.0 must be authenticated using the Map24 ID. The
Map24 ID is a customer identification and provided to you by Mapsolute when
registering as a customer

- MapTP Web Map Server 1.0 User's Guide
NAVTEQ MapTP WMS in ESRI ArcMap
- As of 23 April 2009, when Add WMS Server using the Default version, I get a
Connection Error - Unspecified error message. If I change the Version to 1.1.1
(only works for this version) and click the Get Layers button, it appears to work.
Note, I don't see any features from the WMS Server in the ArcMap Display window.

NAVTEQ MapTP WMS in Google Earth
- Step 1: open the Google Earth Desktop Application and zoom to an area of interest.
Recommend zooming into a neighborhood instead of at the city level.
- Step 2: click the Add Image Overlay button or from the menu, Add -> Image
Overlay within Google Earth
- Step 3: click the Refresh tab, then click the WMS Parameters button
- Step 4: select any WMS Server from the drop down list, then click the Edit... button.
- Step 5: paste in the MapTP URL,
http://maptp27.map24.com/map24/webservices1.5?mid=WSE000222200&SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.1.1
- Step 6: select the [T] ALL from the transparent layers list on the left, then Add, click
OK, click OK
- Step 7: wait for about 5 seconds, then the ALL layer from the MapTP WMS server should
show up on Google Earth. Note, as of 5 June 2009, the graphic has several diagonal white
lines running across it. So it appears to be a bug with MapTP.
NAVTEQ MapTP WMS in Civil3D 2009
- Civil3D will display MapTP WMS layers like Google Earth, that is have
the bug of the white diagonal lines and secondly, need to wait about 5
seconds after each zoom/pan for the image to update

- MapTP or Map24, what is the correct name? MapTP is the correct
name and NAVTEQ is in the process of removing all references to
Map24 from the documentation and API.
- MapTP AJAX API uses either Static View or Java Applet View
- Java Applet View requires the client to have the Java Runtime Environment
installed.
