Developer Guide
The MapXtreme framework provides classes for using a geocoding client that can access Pitney
Bowes Software’s server geocoding products. For more information about geocoding see
and the MapInfo.Geocoding namespace in the online Help (accessible via
Visual Studio).
Routing with MapXtreme
Another component available to developers of MapXtreme is routing. Driving direction applications
and those involved in planning routes for deliveries or laying cable, for example, utilize routing.
Typically the goal is to locate the route by shortest distance or shortest travel time.
MapXtreme provides four types of routing: point-to-point routing, multi-point routing, matrix routing,
and isogram routing. Each type offers numerous options for creating the appropriate routing network
for your needs.
Like the provision for geocoding, MapXtreme allows developers to use a pre-built routing client in
their application that interacts with Pitney Bowes Software’s routing server products. See
and the MapInfo.Routing namespace in the MapXtreme Online Help.
