Typical RW Net 4 application

This is a short description of the general items required for creating a stand-alone desktop application, that can perform routing:

• A development tool, such as Visual Studio, MapBasic, Delphi etc.
• RW Net 4
• Vector street data for the routing

You will also need input coordinates for start/end points of the routing:

• Point-of-interest (POI), such as postcode centroids or
• Coordinates from clicking interactively on a map or
• Coordinates from a GPS device or
• Addresses with coordinates in a database, where one can select from (pre-geocoded) or
• Addresses for geocoding (requires a geocoder and the vector street data needs address intervals)

Optional map:

• A mapping component - many are listed in RW Net 4 documentation
• Background map: Additional vector layers (coastline, rivers, town borderline etc.) or raster maps

It is generally also required with a GIS (MapInfo, ArcGIS, QGIS, GeoMedia etc.) to manipulate the data, while creating the application.

Depending on your exact needs, additional components may be needed, but this should give a good impression.
