Petroleum Authority of Thailand (PTT) has joined the growing list of utilities enjoying the benefits of Web Maps Connector (WMC). PTT recently purchased WMC to enable access to LongDo Maps from their Smallworld Gas Transmission Office application. Once the WMC implementation is complete, PTT users will be able to view raster imagery and also utilize Point of Interest (POI) search and Driving Directions. iFactor is also developing customizations to PTT’s Smallworld Internet Application Server (SIAS) to expose the POI search and Driving Directions to their web client users. WMC is typically used to access map data from sources such as Bing Maps, Open Street Map, Google Maps, and Digital Map Products. This particular implementation illustrates the versatility of WMC in accessing additional data sources and also providing specific solutions based on customer needs.
