Generally you should be able to use any current desktop browser. The API is tested in these browsers:

Browser	Version
Mozilla Firefox	3.0+
Apple Safari	3.0+
Google Chrome	Current version
Opera	10.0+
Microsoft Internet Explorer	6.0+

Have a look at our example page. The page can be customized in various ways to match your requirements. For a start you can use the mock search engine which generates a configurable number of random search hits every time you click the search button.

When you are done just click the button "Show Example Page" to see the result and use the source code as an example or the base for your own application.

This is easy. The KartenVerzeichnisAPI is an extension to the MapAPI. The main class SearchableMap basically extends IWMap. All functions and events of the IWMap class can be used without modifications to your code.

Just import the MapAPI and the KartenVerzeichnisAPI, switch your map object to a SearchableMap and start using the new classes, functions and events.

To import the APIs add this code to your page:

				<script type="text/javascript" src="http://iw.mapandroute.de/KartenVerzeichnisAPIjs/lib/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
				<script type="text/javascript" src="http://iw.mapandroute.de/MapAPI-1.0/js/mapping.js/js/mapping.js?vnr=0&pnr=2"></script>
				<script type="text/javascript" src="http://iw.mapandroute.de/KartenVerzeichnisAPI/js/search.js"></script>
				
				<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://iw.mapandroute.de/KartenVerzeichnisAPI/static/css/default.css"/>
			

VNR and PNR are numbers used to identify a customer and product. Please contact us for details.

Just send us an e-mail to mapapi@infoware.de. Please include the following details:

• A detailed description how to reproduce the bug if possible
• System details (OS and browser including version)
• The URL of the API you are using
• The URL of your application if possible
• A screenshot if necessary

Your database must be able to do spatial searches defined by a polygon of four WGS 84 coordinates. Please keep in mind this polygon is not necessarily a rectangle if you want to support birds view images, too.

Other required parmeters include the search keyword, the number of hits to load, to and from indices to support paging, and the ordering (by distance or alphabetical).

If your database matches the requirements (see above) just contact us. We will provide a connector to your system and configure the API to use your database for search queries.

Yes, there is a template parameter for SearchableMap.print(). Specify an URL to a HTML page with your print view here.

Use the placeholders ${map}, ${copyright} and ${content} in this page to indicate where the map, the copyright notice and the dynamic content (e.g. hit list or driving directions) should be inserted.

Example:

• Example template file (see source code)
• Example page (click on the links below the map to call print())
