From store or property locators to mobile applications, asset tracking and fleet management, the Whereis® API can help you build your ultimate mapping solution.
With the Whereis® API you can:
- Create maps centred on any location in Australia
- Access aerial and satellite imagery across Australia (with or without street labels)
- Use standard Whereis® map navigation tools (zoom and panning) or create your own map
- Add map markers to the map
- Create route maps and turn-by-turn directions between addresses
- Generate lists of potential destinations, ranked in order of travel distance from the nominated street address
- Perform geo-coding (i.e. convert a street address to latitude and longitude coordinates)
- Perform reverse geo-coding
- Search thousands of UBD® points of interest (POI) nationwide
In turn, your customers can:
- Locate your nearest store (could be as simple as entering a suburb or postcode)
- Get turn-by-turn directions to your nearest store by entering their street address
- Interact with your maps according to their needs using zoom and panning tools
Technical Information
The Whereis® API can be integrated as a component into your existing or new application. Most developers access the Whereis® API from their server side web-based application using our JavaScript API. You can also put the Whereis® API functionality into a standalone application via our SOAP interface as long as it has network access (so it can reach the geospatial platform within the Sensis network).
You can also find information on Whereis® API and other Sensis Data Solutions here.
