Multimap Open API V1.2 Documentation - Implementation Guidelines

The Multimap Open API offers programmatic access to best-of-breed location services, allowing you to build highly-interactive websites. Before you start building your applications, we advise you to read this document first. These examples show how you can use many of the various features of the Multimap Open API; you are also free to implement the Multimap Open API in other ways.

The Multimap Open API comes with its Mapping and Geocoding modules as standard, but also now offers the new Routing and Local Information modules. In addition, the Multimap Open API also integrates with Microsoft Virtual Earth to provide access to high resolution aerial and Bird's Eye imagery.

The Multimap Open API allows you to add static maps as well as draggable maps to your implementations. You may wish to display a static map as a "fallback" for those users whose browser configuration does not support the Multimap JavaScript API. For details of how to do this, please see the Static Maps "Fallback" JavaScript example.
