Easiest Way to Map
Data in SharePoint
Just open the On-Board Designer,
point to a data source, select
your data, configure the view
and you are finished. Your data
will be geocoded and plotted on
a Microsoft Bing map. Gone is
the need for map APIs,
SharePoint Designer, and
difficult code. You don't even
need to use the page's edit
mode.
-
Instantly Connect to Virtually Any
Data Source
Use the On-Board Designer to
point to SharePoint lists (even
on other sites), SQL Server,
Oracle, and Excel (you don't
need MOSS) and select the data
you want to map. You don't need
SharePoint's BDC, there is no
code required.
-
Integrate with Microsoft Bing Maps
without the API
Get live Bing Maps street,
aerial, or hybrid views complete
with tools to zoom and pan. You
have an entire map of the world
that zooms to street level
without additional work or a
single line of code.
-
Display Geographic Data with Smart
Pins
The ComponentOne Maps for
SharePoint will automatically
pinpoint each location on the
map with an indicator of your
choice (pushpin, flag, ball,
star, or custom image). This
happens automatically, and live,
so if the data changes, so will
the map.
-
Automatic Geocoding
As long as you have a location
identifier (e.g., address,
postal code, state, point of
interest), you can plot your
data. Maps for SharePoint will
connect to Bing's geocoding
service to determine the map
coordinates.
-
Connect Location Markers to More
Information
Each smart pin is related to an
annotation that can display
virtually anything you want.
Show drill-down data, images,
URLs, and street map insets to
name a few. Even create tool
tips dynamically.
-
Connect Web Parts for Rich
Interaction
Connect ComponentOne WebParts to
one another or SharePoint Web
Parts to your ComponentOne Web
Parts. This level of
interactivity will ensure that
you are always showing
meaningful data.
-
Coding Optional
The On-Board Designers make
creating and configuring
ComponentOne's Web Parts a
simple matter of
pointing-and-clicking. But if
you ever feel the need to go
beyond the designer options,
feel free to use code to
customize our Web Parts even
further. Ease of use and
extensibility go very well
together.
-
Real ROI
In just a few minutes, insert
the ComponentOne Maps Web Part
onto your page, connect to your
data, and configure your view.
Changing the view is just as
easy. You get a map view that
would take developers weeks to
code. The Maps Web Part will pay
for itself the first time you
use it on a typical project.
How We Make The SharePoint Experience
Better
SharePoint provides no mapping capability
out-of-the box. In order to plot locations
on a map and deploy it on your SharePoint
site, you need to create your own. Typically,
people will code against Microsoft Bing Maps
or Google Maps APIs and embed them on their
pages. ComponentOne Maps for SharePoint lets
you plot your data and display a map in
minutes. All you need to do is point to a
data source and the columns containing your
location information and Maps for SharePoint
will display a world map with your locations
plotted. Assigning actions to each point (i.e.,
displaying more data) is also a
point-and-click process.
