MAPS
Google Maps API Premier is a web mapping service application that allows companies to easily find business locations, at the same time, it helps them to embed the information in web pages so that they can be easily found. This can facilitate customers and employees to make the right business and purchase decisions by visualizing important information on a familiar map. It also allows data integration and the creation of their own map into the application, in order to follow the customer locations or track shipments.
In the vehicles’ case, the coordinates are obtained in real-time thanks to GPS, nevertheless, in the case of interest points that remain still, it provides a geocodification gateway. Due to GPS devices it allows companies to control and manage commercial fleets, positioning vehicles, at the same time stores objects mobility information in a database system, providing this and other data to monitoring applications or data exploration. As is can be seen, it does not only improve the physical access to facilities, as also it shows other smashing capabilities:
Visualization of geo-referenced data in Google Maps technology:
- Possibility of exporting data for Google Earth visualization;
- Development of graphic interfaces, with integrated components for meta-data visualization (specific information of
each object or point of interest – description address, links, etc. );
- Possibility for including images, text or sounds over the geo-referenced platform;
- Diversity of visualization controls;
- Map view mode, satellite images or hybrid model, that combines maps with satellite images;
- Zoom control;
Visualization of points of interest integrated with gateways for obtaining GPS coordinates from addresses:
- Acquisition of cartographic data from postal addresses or nearby places;
- Possibility of adjusting and determining coordinates manually;
Supply of tracking systems of objects and vehicles in real time:
- Possibility for determine past routes, by date/hour and to identify the object/vehicle;
- Possibility for creating geographic areas of exclusion or restriction;
- Integration with existing software.
The main benefits arising from its usage are:
- Control and management of distribution courses;
- Control and management of fleets of vehicles;
- Development of new forms of georeferencing information to present in public websites;
- Enables the display of integrated interest points for obtaining gateway of GPS coordinates by address;
- Enables information display through Google Maps technology, allowing the development of original interfaces on
maps, images obtained by satellites or assemble of two georeference forms, and consequently development of
business operations;
- Improves information access by stimulating its exchange;
- Provides objects and vehicles localization systems in real-time;
- Improves user orientation, since it gives the accurate notion of its location;
- Reduces time spent on trips’ searches, given that it helps the navigation;
- Possibility of having a global overview of the entire supply chain;
- Improves operational efficiency, based on information analysis reports;
- Creates competitive advantage.
