MapQuest’s Advantage API: MapQuest’s Advantage API offers the reliability of a robust
location-based platform with the flexibility and efficiency of a web
service. A recently released and updated version, Advantage API 5.1,
offers 16+ million POIs, premium listings that can be licensed to
enrich any application, as well as several key JavaScript enhancements
to make applications even more compelling and easier to use.
The latest version of Advantage API 5.1 adds the following JavaScript enhancements:
• Advanced Overlays: Robust capability to create and interact with custom lines and shapes such as polygons, rectangles and ellipses. These overlays can then be used to create custom search areas and allows the user to define the geographic search area right on the map.
• Icon Declutter: For times when a map view contains map icons overlapping each other, decluttering moves those icons away from each other and allows distribution in a selected style.
