Direct Delivery Method: This
service is suitable for those who would like to display the map
imagery only, without navigation features (although it is possible
to provide a simple zoom in/out feature).
Using the direct delivery method, the maps are delivered directly
as an image (ideal as the src field for an <image> tag)
. The image is in GIF format, requires no plug-ins and this
technique can be inserted into your web pages very quickly.
The disadvantage is that navigation facilities are limited
or must be implemented by yourselves.
This technique can also display user defined icons on the
map image by coordinates, lat/long and postcode. The size and
scale of the map image can also be defined.
Templated Delivery Method: We provide you
with a basic template for the presentation of the map and navigation
controls. Your web designer can then edit that template, choosing
which features are included / excluded and the style of presentation.
The template is returned to us and used by ourselves to display
your maps on request. This templating enables full control
over the visual presentation of the data and can either be
used as a stand alone page or as part of a frame set in your
own pages.
This technique can also display user defined icons on the
map image by coordinates, lat/long and postcode and includes
the ability to hot spot those icons The size and scale of the
map image can also be defined. |
