API in general and map API in particular. Is a term quite familiar with technology people today. However, API is still quite a new word for most people. So what is an API? What are the benefits of the Map API? Let's find out with IOTLink the information below this article!
What is API?
API is an abbreviation for the phrase Application Programming Interface. We can roughly understand it as an application programming interface.
Their feature is to communicate, interact and exchange data directly with each other.
APIs are commonly used on the web – based system, database system, operating system, computer hardware and software library.
What is the Map API?
You can simply understand that the map API is a support method. Allows websites or apps that use the Maps API. From there display the provided content such as location, distance, traffic, shops, etc., most commonly, find the way.
Example 1: If you are in a fixed location and want to find the nearest utilities around you. Then the map API can completely help you with that.
Example 2: On the platform of brand applications such as Grab, Ahamove, etc., there is a map API integration. From there, it is possible to locate and accurately locate the location of employees and customers on the map, to reach each other more easily.
The benefits that map API brings
Platforms can take advantage of the map API for information coverage as well as coverage.
Provide information about the object, location, distance, time to the user.
Data is updated regularly, high level of accuracy.
Bringing high-end mapping technology solutions for fields, industries, project development, infrastructure.
