“A web application that combines data from multiple sources into a single integrated tool.”

Jennifer Evans-Cowley Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Administration at Ohio

State University, College of Engineering

What are they? - Definition


Software company offers Application Programming Interface to users to connect to its mapping application.

Users use that API and mix it with other companies’ APIs, creating a mapping mashup.

• Visitor requests mapping mashup • API and Key are verified • Main script • Legend, copyright etc images • Map tiles • Marker, shadow etc images • Plotting and geocoding as required

How does that affect me? - Mobile: Growth


52 million people accessed maps on their smartphones, an increase of 67% from 2012. 1 in 3 minutes spent online in December 2012 were spent on mobile devices. As of December 2012, there were more than 57 million or 18% tablet owners in the U.S. Population at that time - about 312 million. Tablets are a companion on the couch and in bed, with more than half of tablet owners using their tablet while watching TV.

Mobile First: Prepares you for the explosive growth and new opportunities emerging on mobile today, forces you to focus and prioritize your products by embracing the constraints inherent in mobile design, and allows you to deliver innovative experiences by building on new capabilities native to mobile devices and modes of use.

Responsive Web Design: In simple terms, a responsive web design uses "media queries" to figure out what resolution of device it's being served on. Flexible images and maps Grid layouts Media queries allow the page to use different CSS style rules based on characteristics of the device the site is being displayed on, most commonly the width of the browser. The fluid grid concept calls for page element sizing to be in relative units like percentages or ems, rather than absolute units like pixels or points.[9] Flexible images are also sized in relative units (up to 100%), so as to prevent them from displaying outside their containing element.[10]

Progressive Enhancement - web design strategy - opposite of "graceful degradation"

Google Maps for Enterprise allows the option to disable location-

The New York Times, March 2012

Google Maps API (free) limits to 25K maps/day Bing Maps (free) limits to 500K maps/year, or 1.3K maps/day if even

Google’s Terms of Service (ToS) “Your service must be freely accessible to end users”. “If you expect more than 500,000 pageviews/day, please contact us in advance”. “There is a limit of 50,000 geocode requests/day/Maps API Key (or 1 geocode request/1.73 seconds)”. As of 2008, “Google Maps API Geocoder does not geocode addresses in all international countries. The accuracy of geocoded locations is returned in the accuracy parameters. Note that Google Maps API geocoder and Google Maps geocoder rely on two different data sources”. “Pricing for Google Maps for Enterprise is based on the number of page views and geocode requests handled by the Google Maps for Enterprise API and starts at $10,000 per year”.

Geospatial Indexes and

Queries

Pre-computed KMLs load faster than dynamic KMLs for obvious reasons, but even with clusters, loading a lot of data can sometimes stretch mapping mashups beyond their user's patience (Microsoft Live first loads a simplified multi-part version of KML).
