Telogis GeoBase is designed for .NET to enable rapid application development and integrates fully with Microsoft Visual Studio.
The Telogis GeoBase SDK offers flexible deployment models by using a single-data format, code base and object model, as well as flexible licensing models. Functionalities include rich and detailed mapping; geocoding and reverse geocoding; route optimization for mobile workers based on truck restrictions and traffic information, enabling multi-stop optimization and customized route strategies; a navigation toolkit; and the ability to easily integrate third-party GIS data and layer it on top of the road network.
