Pushpin Platform: Product Details

The Pushpin platform simplifies and speeds up the development and deployment of sophisticated online mapping applications.

Application-oriented API

Pushpin API - Web developers with no prior mapping expertise get a JavaScript(AJAX) API that gives them the ability to implement complex, multi-layer interactive maps. These maps offer end users a familiar experience no more challenging than pulling up driving directions from a consumer site. Other mapping APIs begin and end with control over the map itself. Pushpin’s API offers additional functions that simplify building the overall application. For example, a simple API call allows developers to filter out map markers that fail to meet specific criteria. (Detailed API documentation is available here: http://www.pushpin.com/api/docs/).
