Section 4.4. Where Are We?


4.4. Where Are We?

In this chapter, you have learned how to interface with a GPS device using MapPoint 2004 and how to write Add-Ins. We also discussed how to integrate and improve performance using Add-Ins in your applications.

MapPoint 2004 provides a rich set of APIs to develop windows applications that can work as standalone applications or as Add-Ins that can be integrated into the MapPoint 2004 UI. Yet, we have seen only Windows applications (which could be command line executables as well). So, what are our options if you want to develop applications of other kinds, such as applications for the Web or for other platforms, such as the Pocket PC or SmartPhone? If you are looking to use one of these platforms or application types to develop location-based applications, look at MapPoint Web Service in the next chapter.
