## What is Mapplet?

Do you have your own location based data or aerials and need to display it on an industry standard base map? Are you looking for an affordable and blazingly fast solution? If so, Mapplet is your answer.
 
Mapplet provides this functionality at a fraction of the cost of other enterprise based solutions. Mapplet can be deployed to the cloud in order to provide a cost effective scalable and robust solution. You can display your own POI, parcels, utility network, GIS or CAD data on Bing Maps, OpenStreetMap, Google Maps, MapBox, and ESRI ArcGIS Maps.
 
IMPORTANT: This app is pre-configured with demo data in order to show some of its capabilities. In order to add and display your own data, you will need to create a compatible map package (SMP) and host it on a web server or the cloud. Then you will be able to use the "Add Server..." functionality to display your data. Please contact Spatial Wave if you like to set up your own server.

NOTE: if applicable, all base maps except Bing maps require separate licenses from their corresponding vendors.

-Access, query and analyze your own data
