 Symbian C++ Component Interface

Application clients of CI receives Vector Map Data stream

Offers a lightweight programming interface by component-

oriented approach

Allows seamless integration of mapping functionality into

applications

Applications can also receive maplet remote control (MRC) from

MapTP Web Services

Client applications are fully controllable from remote applications

The MapTP CI provides APIs to handle connections, maps, custom

maps, and custom objects

NAVTEQ Network for Developers – http://www.NN4D.com

 Vector Graphics vs. Raster Graphics

Raster Graphics

Images as a collection of pixels

Vector Graphics

Geometrical primitives such as points, lines, polygons

Objects have a location (latitude / longitude)

Objects can be scaled, stretched, compressed, moved,
and rotated

Vector map data transferred to the client. The client
renders the vector map for display

Incremental data downloads as requested

Advantages of Vector Graphics

Fast panning, fast and seamless zooming

Animation – Jump from one location to another; Bird-
eye view; Route fly-by

Possible map color scheme change (e.g. map colors) at
runtime
