I have previously introduced many online Internet maps, but there are not many APIs (Application Programming Interface, Application Programming Interface, developers can easily call resources in online maps to implement a variety of third-party map applications. Below I will introduce several Internet maps with open APIs.
Google Maps API: Google Maps API is based on Google
Maps, which can use JavaScript to embed Google Maps into a webpage. API provides a large number of practical tools to process maps and add content to maps through various services, so that users can create powerful map applications on their own websites. Google Maps API supports traffic maps and satellite maps. The kml format of its landmark file has become a standard format for online maps.
Both Earth and Google Maps support kml. Currently, Google Maps APIs are widely used both internationally and domestically.
Microsoft Virtual Earth API: Based on Virtual
The earth API is in English version. Its examples and display effects are rich. You can view the source code After previewing the effects. Unfortunately, the development of map China is not supported currently.
Yahoo Maps API: similar to Microsoft maps, Yahoo Maps API only supports English and does not support map development in China. Yahoo map provides flash, Ajax, and map-based
There are three types of development interfaces for image, with complete functions and good display effect.
Mapabc API: A Domestic MAP supplier based on mapabc. The Chinese data of Google map uses mapabc, but its API interfaces are different from those of Google, its API is not as open and flexible as Google map API.
Mapbar API: A Domestic MAP supplier based on mapbar. Its data is provided for Baidu map.
I want map API: Based on 51 maps, a feature of my map is that it provides map data downloading to implement a local desktop map, but its map data size is several hundred megabytes.
