Better Maps for the Internet

When you have finished an OCAD map, you can create an Internet map very quickly and integrate it into any Internet page. OCAD helps you to save time:

1. The Task of the Cartographer Becomes Easier.
As a cartographer, if you have finished a city map (for instance) and published it in paper form, you can convert it with a single command to an Internet map. With only a few additional steps you can create a Search function for the place and street names on the map. This saves a lot of time-consuming work.

2. A Visitor of the Internet Site Saves Time.
If you visit an Internet site with an OCAD Internet map you will appreciate two things: 1. Fast downloads, because only those tiles which are needed for the current view are downloadad. 2. You can search for streets and place names very easily.

Browser does not support Java!

3. It is Straight Forward for the Internet Programmer.
As an Internet programmer you need to know that a Java applet is used and that the Search function is done with JavaScript which calls the corresponding functions in the Java applet. The Java applet implements additional functions like functions to change the shape and color of hotspots and pointers.
