Server Implementations It all starts with deCarta's Developer Zone. Develop your Internet or mobile application prototype using DDS Web Services and/or deCarta's JavaScript API. When you're ready to commercially launch your service, you have the option of deploying Drill Down Server behind your firewall, or leveraging deCarta's Hosted Web Services. Drill Down Server Behind-the-Firewall Customers choose to bring DDS "in-house" due to the added control and flexibility offered by DDS Query Language and the additional plug-ins such as snap, database overlay and Traffic Manager. DDS customers also have the option of integrating proprietary data, POIs, as well as map and aerial imagery data from multiple providers. Hosted Web Services
Hosted Web Services provides industry-standard XML web services, best-of-breed map and POI data from leading vendors and flexible pricing options. Developers can deploy their application faster without worrying about some of the more complex aspects of operating a geospatial platform, such as hardware and software configuration, geographic dataset updates, cluster administration, etc.

Embedded Implementations Rich Map Engine
deCarta's Rich Map Engine™ (RME) accesses map data using deCarta's patented Geospatial search keys and is the core routing engine behind Drill Down Server. With field-proven success in a wide variety of applications, RME is ideal for LBS applications requiring superior client-side functionality, (e.g., personal navigation devices, and smart phones).
NavSDK
deCarta's Navigation SDK is a software developer's environment that enables easier and efficient development of a customized navigation system for portable navigation devices (PNDs). It provides an Application Programming Interface (API) for accessing all of the required basic functions needed for the creation of a navigation application, thereby reducing development time, which results in overall reduced time to market.
The use of the NavSDK also ensures the compatibility of the navigation application with new releases of the underlying route engine. In addition, the NavSDK provides developers with a uniform data model that enables the use of map data from multiple and different vendors with minimal or no impact to the application. The NavSDK is built on the Rich Map Engine. |
