A Mapping and GIS Component by VDS Technologies

AspMap can create images in any standard image file format, or even send a bit-stream directly to the browser. Whether you have a local government web site, a real estate web site or a vehicle tracking web site, or if you provide location-based services, AspMap can give you the functionality you need to turn the occasional visitor to your site into a regular user.

Mapping Features
- Multiple map layers.
- Dynamic map layers.
- Pan and zoom through map layers.
- Automated relates from map data to databases.
- Translucency support.
- Draw points, lines, ellipses, rectangles, polygons, labels and text strings directly onto maps.
- Scale dependent layer display - each layer has a minimum and maximum display threshold. Display only occurs when the current map's scale falls between the thresholds.

Thematic Mapping
- Assign colors, symbols and shading to represent data values on the map.
- Thematic maps can be based on individual values, ranges or expressions.

Spatial and Attribute Searching
- Search for features along lines and inside boxes, areas, polygons and circles.
- Search within a specified distance of other features.
- Search for features using an expression.
- Query attribute data associated with selected features.
- Export selected features in Shapefile format.

A Variety of Labeling Options
- Cross-layer smart labeling - labels are positioned automatically to prevent overlapping between labels.
- Thematic labeling - enables control of label properties by using values in the customer's data. For example font size and color could be adjusted to correspond to a state's population.
- Multi-line labels - allows text labels to appear on multiple lines instead of in one long string.
- Highway/interstate labeling - provides the ability to assign highway shield symbols for highways/interstates.

Routing
- Calculate routes between two points based on their coordinates.
- Calculate the quickest and shortest routes (based on distance or time).
- Generate turn-by-turn driving directions.
- Plot generated routes directly on the map.

On-The-Fly Projection
- Data from any projection can be combined into a common projection for viewing and analysis.
- Built-in support for 378 geographic and 2706 projected coordinate systems.
- Support for the OpenGIS WKT format for spatial reference systems.

Vector Data Sources
- Shapefiles (SHP).
- TAB files (TAB).
- Databases - AspMap enables you to plot locations using latitude/longitude coordinates retrieved from a database.
